   Sometime you can be yourself and not get picked on but most of the time you do get picked on by someone because every ones different in their own way.People get picked on for everything from your voice to your hair or even your size. If you are picked on you should know your not the only one everyone has been picked on at least once in their life. You should express yourself in your own way not how someone else wants you to. So it does not always mean with having one you can not have the other but many times that is the case. Even if you act like yourself and have a few friends its better they know who you really are then to have a lot of friends that don't know you.                                                                                                                                                                     I think you should always be yourself and not always wonder what the other person thinks. If nobody acted their own way than everyone would be the same and that would make a very boring world. How would you feel if you and all your friends had to act like robots because you could not express anything? You would probably hate the world then because you cant have feelings. So don't hide your true self because of anyone. So if someone does not stand up for who they really are nobody will and if nobody shows who they really are we wont really know them.                                                                                                                                                                   So yes, being yourself is a lot more important than being with the normal crowd. One other reason is that you will grow up and leave school and it wont matter how popular or how many friends you had in high school because you will be out in the real world. If you go out in the real world and have never learned to be yourself you will be boring. What will you do if there is no crowd to fit in with and call normal? What will you do then? So you should try to be yourself and not like anyone else.
