Consider some of the social pressures that you think may shape your behavior and personal image. List the images most commonly associated with the categories or ‘boxes’ you have already listed in Activity 1.
How have you responded to social pressures to conform by adopting an appearance that relates to the categories that you feel you have placed in or have chosen?
I have responded to social pressures before, I was very into following what everyone else did when I was younger, especially because the people I was around were considered "cool" and I wanted to be apart of that group. I changed the way I dressed, spoke, behaved just to impress them. As I got older I (and most of that group) realized that was so dumb and we need to be ourselves. Following people isn't fun and you need to do your own thing and find your own way. Don't let social pressures make you feel left out, there are many people who do their own thing and you can only be truly happy once you do that, you aren't alone.
