i don't really know who i am anymore. this past year i've been alot more social at school where i used to be shy. i use to always respect the teachers, do my work, and do all the christian things that are sterotyped for them. i would where jeans and cute shirts and stuff. but like i said this last year was different. most people think i like country music but i really love rock, all genres of it. i also want to dress differently, like more emo-ish and stuff. in school i've slacked a little but i think its senioritiss but for my jr. year so i messed off more at school. this year i actually made more friends though there not the best people but still pretty cool. am i trying to be someone im not or is this me. some of my frineds say i've changed but i don't know if its for the better or not. what should i do?

Maybe it's a phase, maybe you found the style you like, and maybe it's something deeper. I did sorta like that. Heck, I still am. I use to be totally goth and stuff. Now I'm more into polkadots and mismaching and layering and neons. idk. I went from shy to crazy social to currently too selfconcious and shy around people I haven't known for at least a year. :/
Maybe something like that's goin on fer you, maybe not. idk.

It sounds like you're growing up a bit, getting social.
I'd say enjoy it and don't deny who you are, but do be careful about how those new friends affect you. Make sure you're not losing touch with God and putting your new social life ahead of him.
If you're living for God you can be a real positive example for those friends.
You can show them the real love of Christ instead of that christian stereotype we're all so sick of.
When it comes to school, I bet you're sick of being so uptight about grades. I know I reached that point. It's good to remember that grades aren't everything. Just be careful about letting school work slip. I let my grades slip too far and I would have been a lot better off if I'd stayed on track a little more. After all the Bible does say "whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might as unto the Lord."

Sounds a bit like me.
I got tired of the good-girl, cookie-cutter christian image I had, so I started looking around...trying to find me. I was the shy quiet one at the time. Then my brother introduced me to Simon, Sarah and Chris. I started getting to know them, they took me out, brought a couple of Goth items as far as music and clothes are concerned and started explaining Goth to me.
I grew more and more comfortable with the style and came out of myself. Next thnig I know, everybody knows me and likes me at my school. My image has changed alot over the last sort of year; I'm more likely to walk around in strange items like my PJ tops and jeans at home or if I'm going out very quickly. I only really wear my more Goth items when I'm going out for more than 1/2 an hour.
Strange thing is, although I didn't pay as much attention to my teachers in the last year my grades went up. My attendance went up. My confidence wen through the roof, and I found myself exploring a deeper, more faith the religion based side of Christianity.
