“I know it’s very cliché, but you just really have to stay true to yourself. You can’t change for anybody, because then they’re not really your friends. If you try to mold yourself to what other people want you to be, then they don’t really like you for who you are. Remember that cool is up for interpretation. If you like to knit, then find someone else who likes to knit. That’s really cool, and that [person] can be your friend, even if that’s not the most popular person in school.”
