Self Representation

If I wear a t-shirt, people will think I am crazy;
The temperature is 32° outside.
If I wear a long sleeve t-shirt,
I will be seen as "normal".

If I eat from the school cafeteria,
people will judge me for eating "unhealthy".
If I eat a salad,
people may think I am a health fanatic.

If I cry in front of people,
they will feel uncomfortable.
If I remain callous,
I will feel fake and they think I am cold.

If I make friends with mainly one [racial] group of kids,
people will judge me as a racist.
If I make friends with a wide variety of people,
I will be overwhelmed by the number of people around me.

If I make friends in one particular group,
I will be labeled as a "_____".
If I make friends with different types of people,
I might not feel like I fully "belong" anywhere.
