We're all born to be unique and different from each other, but through the years we tend to work hard to be like everyone else. We are trapped into society's stereotype, and conform to its norm. We seem to be lack in a cage, where we do things what we should do and not what we want to do. We rather want to be love than be with the things that we love. We avoid to become who we are. Why it's hard to dare to be different? Would you dare to be different?

One should dare to be different from others, provided the moral/ethical values are not compromised.Definitely! I would dare to be different until it hurts nobody you see....Man's journey to today's modern age became possible only because of individuals who thought differently and caused revolution.However, at the same time some people who thought differently caused Hiroshima/Nagasaki to blow off as well.So, I think that it largely depends on how exactly one wants to be different.That makes a real difference!!!

I agree with you. It depends on how the person want to be different.Like being different for worse or better. But I think those people who thought about unique way of distractions is not new. There are so many people way back then, from all those world war. But there are only few people who think to be different for the sake of humanity. Only few who dare to stand and die for the truth. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your weekends!

Hi, careguarden
My friends told me that I have to change my style and to become a young lady intead of a girl. I am looking forward to changing my personal appearance. However, I don't know how to change and be afraid to becoming different. My parents are strict with me and they hope me look like a well-behavior student. Spceial hair style is not allowed in my family.
Conseguently, I'd like to be different, but I am a little scared.

Hello my friend Norah, It's not easy to be who you are and be the person you want to be. Since there are those people who would not be happy and who won't accept for the changes and the things that you like. However, only becoming the real you, you'll find true freedom, happiness and fulfillment that you longed to have in your life. You'll only live life to the fullest if you dare to be the different that you are and be different. Anyway just take your time, little by little I know you will have courage to show your parents and friends what you want are and what you want. Anyway thank you for always sharing with us, good luck on your study and enjoy your weekends!

I cant stomach the thought of conform to society's concept of the "norm"
yes I do dare to be different
I am a witch living in the middle of the bible belt
I have electric blue streaks in my hair
I dont beleive in being politically correct
it is hard to be different because people will always ridicule
and even though I am different I am still loved
people have come to see me for who I am inside and love me in spite of the differences
