Identity is finding yourself and being able to embrace who you really are. Once you figure out what your identity is and how you want to be perceived. You become more comfortable with yourself. Figuring out your identity is a big part of high school\/college. You’re so influenced by all the new people you meet and you figure out who makes you feel comfortable and who doesn’t. It plays a big role in movies and TV shows. To give an example, the movie Mean Girls. Cady Heron is going to public school for the first time and she meets two entirely different groups of people. One is the “plastics” and their whole group revolves around being the center of attention and gossiping. The other group is Janis and Damian. They are outcasts. Cady hung out with both groups but overtime she started to hang more about The Plastics. This played a big role on her identity because she was changing as a person. She saw how they were acting and the attention they were receiving so she started to act just like them. As time went on, Janis helped her realize that she was becoming one of them. Cady was in denial at first but she eventually came to her senses and realized that’s not who she is at all. It was a big part of figuring out what her true identity was.<\/p>\n
