I know sometimes it's hard to be around people who are the same age or close in age and not feel pressure to fit in. You worry about what they will think of you and you most often wonder what you are supposed to like in order to please them. Being yourself is good advice.
Many people struggle with the concept of knowing "who they are" so they can "be themselves".
The only way you can really be yourself is to just "be".
What I mean by this is:
If you want to laugh, then laugh.
If you want to cry, then cry.
If you're excited, be excited.
If you want to like something, then like it.
Don't worry so much about what people think, instead, blatantly not care: you have more important things to do, and everything will fall into place. Some people will like you, some won't. But those that do will never hinder you and will never put you down for liking what you like. These are true friends. If you have true friends, you'll be true to yourself and you'll have a totally unique and wonderful personality.

Good question. First, you have to start figuring out who you are before you can just 'be yourself.' The best way to figure out who you are is to decide what you like. Do you like clothes? Sports? Smiling? Laughing? Math class? Make a list of things you love. If you enjoy sports, it doesn't necessarily mean you're a jock - maybe you find health, fitness, or competition interesting. From the list (you can write it down and refer back to it, draw it out, or make it up in your head) you may notice patterns. Do you love to laugh and smile? Maybe you're a funny or goofy individual. Next time someone says be yourself, you will know to 'let loose' and embrace your funny side. That is just an example, you will embrace the characteristics that you have listed.
The list will constantly be changing, which is definitely a good thing. As time passes, the list will become more dynamic. You may realize you are a lot more complex than you ever thought possible (some characteristics may seem 'opposite'). If you ever feel like you have 'lost yourself' or don't know who you are, a great way to find your 'path' is by deciding what you like and where you want to be in the near future. It's a lot more fun to think of what you 'like' than trying to explain who you actually are. This idea works because what we like & enjoy tends to come from our best natural qualities and talents. I hope this works for you! Let me know if you need any clarification or help. :)

to "be yourself" is something you do subconsciously, or things you do that you've never noticed before. If you focus on things just to do them, then it's not really being yourself.
For example, the way i talk to guys. I'm really shy around really cute guys and i just CANNOT get over my nervousness, but once i get to know them i get comfortable and it eases the shyness. It's not something i have to try to do, it's just how i am.
hope i helped!

To be yourself, you act the way you naturally are(not copying others all the time), you express your opinions based on your own ideas(not influences of others), you be who you are, how you are, the way you want to be. No one can really tell you how to be yourself, because we aren't you. Only you can be you, and you have to find your own way to be yourself. Don't copy other people all the time, don't act like other people, don't express opinions of other people(unless they are your own as well), and just be you....
