Attention Whores and desperation

Hey everybody and welcome to the intro of my 13th blog post. Its almost time for bed on this school night and I have little time to write this.

The Question is: Why do people go againts their own beliefs just for the accpetance of others.

We've all seen it. You know somebody well enough to know that they dont like a certain idea or topic but when the well respected people say they do like them, they'll say they do. Why do they do it? Well as teenagers the desperation of acceptance is within us all, we don't want to be alone. Its an understandable statement but some people just completely convert themselves and that usually ends up in seperation with their origonal true friends who share the same real interests as them. From the person who wasnt influenced by the popular thought usually is disapointed and depressed that they lost their friend to somebody who unitentionally (or possibly purposly) converted them into someone they're not.

So how do people feel that urge just to go with something thats popular, even though they don't agree with it? Well theres so much diversity that I haven't seen in the world that I can't give much viewpoint, but an estimation on how it works, mainly based on my area. They do it just to feel satisfaction about themselves to do it because it feels right. They tell themselves if they are more like others they are more likley to be accepted. To me that makes me sad because you never really know what that person is like. You just get another way to describe another person of idea of a group. It's repetitive and gets kind of boring to see that style over and over. Another thing could be is that peer pressure could be involved. I foreshadowed it in my last setence/explanation, but this time i mean forcefully pushing traits onto a person. It may be hard to believe for some of you but I bet its a safe bet to say it has happened. For example in the hunger games, peter is forced to search out katniss with districts 1 and 2. A real life example could be a group of people force a guy to unfriend their friends in order to hang out with them.

These are some thoughts I have on the idea that was a request from someone I know. Give me other topics to talk about because I dont think I'll ever come up with one. maybe. Goodnight everyone
