Trends

Trends...A topic brought to my mind by thinking of Club Penguin. Yes I know Club Penguin, I haven't played that game in years, but still have six penguins to which I only remember the user name ans password to two if I'm lucky. Anyway when I was younger and would go over to my two particular friends house we would play Sims (all different versions), Club Penguin, and Webkinz! All of these games were amazing to us!!! We thought they were the coolest thing! Now you see Call of Duty graphics look back and are like Pssh! Yeah right those are great?!?!HA! But game trends come and go like fashion trends, sometimes they pass more quickly! I have read books, and seen movies/ TV shows where there's a spoiled brat girl who HAS to have the latest styles. Getting to caught up in the trends is easy to do. Lets say you see a girl wearing this REALLY cute Aeropostale shirt while she's walking down the hall now you HAVE to have it! ...Right? I mean it seems to be the coolest thing and really cute! Two weeks later the girl who was wearing the shirt realizes everyone is wearing Aeropstale shirts, jeans, sweatshirts, etc. So she decides to start wearing Forever 21 instead, and the same thing happens!!! I once read a children's book (Hey those things are appropriate and educational) where a girl can't decide how to wear her hair... So one day she comes in with it in a side ponytail, people make fun of her she says she likes it. She comes to school the next day and everyone's wearing their hair in a side ponytail. The same thing happens with many more hairstyles, so she finally say the next day she's coming to school with a shaved head!!! So when she gets to school the next day EVERYONE including the boys and teachers had shaved their heads!!! ...And she had her hair in a side ponytail. I think the moral of the story is if the people of the world can't learn to be individuals then we will all be the same and boring! It's ok to follow trends (unless it's like taking drugs or under age drinking) but there's always a way to personalize it and make it less of a trend! Trends make us less unique which isn't cool, sure we all want to have that poof in the middle of our hair because it's tres cute! But everyone's doing it so it's not as cool to me. I'm the kinda person who HATES people copying me I absolultely hate it!!! People say it's the bhiggest form of flattery but I still hate it :)~ (:P) Either way be yourself cause otherwise it'll be a really boring world! :) <3
