I suppose that in this day and age, following trends are akin to survival as nucular weapons are akin to winning the Iraqi war. Social teardown can arrupt from even the smallest let down in the world of fashion and behavior. As everybody who follows up on my blog knows, I can not even fathom the idea that whether or not you got your jeans from a designer store could mean so much. Beliefs and behavior seem to run the same way. The rule of most schools is that if you want to be cool, shut your brain and follow along with the latest gossip. Of course, shutting your mout might be just as popular a slogan. If your thoughts are origonal and full of soul, you might as well give up all hope of fitting in, right?
Frankly, whoever believes that might as well condem themselves to a depressing life full of unjust actions and ceaseless heartache. People were born with the power of speech for a reason, and that power should be used to its greatest advantage. Do not be afraid. I have to say that the saying, " I may not agree with what you say, but I'll fight to the death for your right to say it," holds more truth than any school fable about trends and beliefs.
Bye for now,
