Issues in Our Society (Part 3): Identity

For the past few years labeling yourself and putting yourself into a select group has been a priority among young people. People think you have to be gay or straight, weird or normal, etc, when in reality there is a whole spectrum of things you can be. You can pick whatever gender you please (not just male or female) and you can pick your sexuality (gay, straight, pan, bi). You don’t even have to label those if you don’t want to. There’s so much pressure to find a group of people who are just like you, and then you guys mimic each other until you part ways after Senior Year. Individuality is the only thing you’re guaranteed in life, don’t give that up.
