VOICES OF A GENERATION

I

The school is divided into different groups of kids: the break-dancers, the people who listen to heavy-metal, the pretty girls, the ravers and the hip-hop people. But there´s no pressure to be in one group or another. If a person is a break-dancer, they can still chill with the ravers. I´m a hip-hopper. We wear baggy jeans and sweatshirts. Bit if I´m really good friends with a person in the heavy-metal group; I can go chill with them and it´s iust like. whatever. I don´t really worry about violence. And I don´t really worry about peer pressure. Like if you´re at a party and you don´t drink, that´s cool. "Most kids' parents dont´s know what they are doing. I talk to my mom about everything. She shows up for every parents´night; sometimes she´s the only one there. It makes me feed good that I have a mom who cares about what is going on with me."

I went to a National Honor Society induction. The parents were just staring at me. I think they couldn´t believe someone with pink hair could be smart. I want to be a high-school teacher, but I´m afraid that, based on my appearance, they won´t hire me. Don´t be afraid of us. Don´t sterestype us.

I see people who don´t allow themselves to grow in certain areas, even though they have talent or skill, because they feel that would be out character or that peoplewouldn´t like them if they changed. Say you´re really good at math, but your friends say, "I hate math. It's such a nerdy stupid subject ..." You can't be good at it because then you're a nerdy brainiac person. And then you feel like you don't fit in.

The biggest thing here is wearing name-brand clothes. If you even think of wearing a non-name brand, you have guts. Looks area real important, too. If you're not pretty, people won't want to hang out with you. Even the girls with dark hair usually dye their hair blonde. Everything is just one big competition.
