Wonder Day 8.24.15
I have been put down by people that hate me. Now I am not brought down by people, I am more confident and I don't want people to take me down. People have judged me on just how I look like and not how I really am like. They judged me on the way I act. I am weird and I am proud of the way I act because I didn't judge them. I do what I want to do as long as it doesn't hurt no one. I wouldn't do or say anything if it would offend someone. - intermediate student, Michigan USA

One positive change I would like to make in the future is to improve my self-image. I have a bad habit of comparing my achievements to others, which is detrimental to my overall mental health. I don't specifically have a plan in mind, but I hope as I grow older and experience life, I will be able to conquer my inner demons and love me for me, and not for my grades or achievements. I know there will be several obstacles, such as attending a highly competitive college, but if I could only achieve one thing in life, it would be to be less insecure about myself and my abilities. -high school student, Florida

I want to stop putting so much pressure on myself to be perfect, and always worrying about things. I'm always stressed, and I can't focus on what's important: my happiness.
I need to stop thinking about what my parents did, and if I'm going to get into college/signed, and how my life is going to turn out. The people around me should not influence my life and who I am as a person/how I live.
I will do this by keeping my stress levels down and just focusing on me. The mantra "Imma do me" will be how I have my outlook on life. I will be (insert name here) and not worry about anyone else, and not put so much pressure on myself to be perfect. (I totally did not mean to/realize that I was repeating verbatim my first sentence.) Also, I am going to be confident and proud of my freakishly long legs! And make choices for ME, not anyone else. - high school student, Florida

Don't say maybe when I mean no. I'm not a very self-confident person and I don't like to speak my mind or create conflict. I've been letting myself succumb to peer pressure a lot. I've started to do some questionable things, although nothing bad has happened yet. I just think my life is heading in a direction that I'm not sure I want to take. I'm a risk-taker, but I'm having a harder time going against other peoples' will when I know that something is not right. I also have been cutting a lot of people off. I forget that not everyone views things the same way I do, and other people have their flaws and I need to be more understanding of that and maybe even make the effort to help them improve. However I'm not here to make a difference. I'm only here by chance, and have been damned to existence, and I don't plan on being around long enough to try to make any changes within myself or others, so I probably won't be making too big of an effort to actually go forward with the two points I mentioned. - high school student, Florida

A personal change I would like to make in my life is: I would like to get better grades. I think I would achieve this by trying harder to focus when I study and plan things ahead of time. I would also like to be more reliable as a person and a friend. I would like to have a better relationship with my family. I would also like to be happy with the person I am and recognize my strong suits. I could achieve this by being more confident in myself and my decisions and try to communicate with my friends and family. By making these changes, I can live a happier life and be more confident in myself. I would also like to not rely on other people and be more independent. - high school student, Florida
