This I Believe–Jasmine

Posted by jefferson8 on March 3rd, 2008

I believe that no one should change for someone else. It makes no sense to do that. Some girl might like a boy but the boy doesn’t like the girl for who she truly is. That’s when the girl changes herself and turns into a different person that never existed. People these days change themselves to impress a boy, get more friends, or to be liked by everyone. Although people think it’s good to change and yes it is, it’s not good to change your personality or who you are for another person or even your own family. I know someone who changed their own life for a boy. She started doing dumb things like smoking drugs, having sex, and even doing sexual things for boys just to impress one boy. People were spreading rumors about her and calling her mean names that hurt her feelings. She was ending up with no friends. Although it is her fault that all that happened I feel bad for the girl.  I would never guess she would do that she would do that for a boy that didn’t even like her and everyone knew he only wanted to do one thing with her. It wasn’t worth giving it up to him but she did. By that time they started going out and everyone was talking about it. I could never see her doing that for a boy, but I was wrong. There are many girls who change for a boy but boys also do that for a girl. The girl might not like the boy because she thinks he is a geek and he hangs out with losers. So the boy starts to change and get bad grades and hang out with people that are so different from him. The girl is starting to like him. It is a great moment knowing someone likes you, but it’s not when they don’t like you for who you are. It hurts when you find out the person doesn’t like you, but you should never change yourself for them it’s not worth it. I would never change myself for anyone and if they don’t like me for who I am then so be it. They don’t deserve me as a friend or girlfriend anyway. That is why I believe that no one should change for someone.
