“Copies”
Society today tells us that we should look, dress, and act a
certain way but all that does is turn us into copies of each
other. When will we see this and realize that it isn’t
right? Most of us do realize this but go with it nun-the
less because we are too afraid that they won’t “fit
in”. However there is another group of us who see this,
realize it and actually defy what society tells us. That
small group dresses how they want to, acts like they want
to. They refuse to become copies like everyone else is.With 
piercings & tattoos they are viewed as freaks and troubled
kids. But I think it’s the other way around. Because I
think only a freak or someone troubled would want to be just
like everyone else. At least the people with tattoos and
piercings have an identity of their own. The Copies can’t
say that they have that. I don’t have any tattoos or
piercings but I can honestly say I’m not a copy like
everyone else. But what are you? Are you a “freak” or a
copy? If you’re a copy ask yourself “Am I happy being
just like everyone else?”

Good question that a lot of people in today's society need to ask themselves. Great work. Keep writing!
