It was Worth Waiting For................
             Becoming apart of any group can always be complicated, especially in these times. In today's society people, especially teenagers, can be very cruel to one another. Every teenager in America wants to become apart of that one special group in high school and or college, and sometimes they will do almost anything to feel accepted. Feeling accepted into that special group makes them feel better about themselves and boosts their self-esteem. They feel like they have plenty friends and won't ever feel rejected by anyone. Fitting in with the group is where difficulties come in. A lot of groups have a certain look about them, whether its the way they dress, the way they talk, or the way they act, filling those holes are not always easy. Some people want so badly to fit in with a group that they conform their image, which sometimes leads to things like anorexia or taking drugs. Is it really worth it to feel accepted? Only the person herself/himself can decide how and why her/his groups are worth waiting for.
             As far back into Middle School as I can remember my best friend Heather and I have wanted to fit in with the "popular kids" of our school. We were not considered nerds because we had "popular friends". It was then, in the early stages of middle school that everyone started to form their circles of friends. As the years went by and we entered high school things began to change significantly. Heather and I had managed to stay best friends, but never our own circle of friends. Then, our freshman year of high school things started to change and we began to hang out with the same girls all the time. Finally it started to feel like our own group. All of the "popular kids" were still hanging out together, but they always seemed to have friend problems with backstabbing, and talking behind each other's back. That was definitely not the kind of group I wanted to be in.
