Fitting In
By Sarah Dobson
People always ask themselves, “Do I fit in?”
But the real question is “Can anyone fit in?” No
one who is being their self fits in. Everyone
has something completely wacky or different
about them, and fitting in is throwing that
aside so you can be like everyone else. In
romantic movies, don’t guys always say “You’re
not like other girls.” Like, you might love to dip
your sandwich crusts in apple sauce, or every
night you might go on “Webkinz” even though
you’re 16. People are so focused on being like
everyone else that some of their personality
fades. What if the popular kids all started to eat
pig brains for lunch? Would you still want to fit
in? For a lot of people, they would say yes, and
that’s not right. People have got to realize that
no one is perfect, and that beautiful girl who
everyone wants to fit in with probably goes
home and eats hamburgers in sugar! The real
question is, is there such a thing as truly fitting
in? Because the only way that anyone can stay
true to who they are and what they stand for
is to be someone who is different. And that’s
when you truly fit in. Puzzles are made with
all different shaped pieces, and if you got a
puzzle where all the pieces were the same, it
wouldn’t all fit together.
