I definitely do act differently depending on who I'm around or with. There is a hanging out with friends me, and a parents me. I think I'm a lot more comfortable when I'm the friends me. Its not like its a major change, just little changes that occur subconsciously for me. When I'm with friends I'm more relaxed and goofy than when I'm around my parents at home. Do I think this is wrong? Nope. I would only consider it wrong if you became a completely different person from group to group. It shows that you don't know who you really are, or aren't comfortable or don't like what you are. If the changes you make are small, then its okay. I don't think any teenager acts the same with friends as they do with their parents. You can't just be switching on and off personalities or certain personality traits depending on who you're around. You should be happy with who you are, and true to that. I don't see how you can be happy living all these "fake lives" with different personalities. I think the real me is a mix of who I am with friends and who I am with my parents. I like it that way, and I'm perfectly comfortable with who I am. Thats what matters to me. //
