I don't think it has anything to do with where you live. It is how you carry yourself, how you react to sitautions, how you treat yourself and others, things like that. Yes, I am sure the area has a certain affect ... but just because you live in a certain area, doesn't mean it's going to stop you from finding out who you are. It may change the way you are finding out ... but I think it all depends on the person   |

Finding out who you are is more like a process than anything...at the core, we already know a large part of it...but life experiences change certain aspects of who we are, how we relate to others, the actions that we take...it's a never ending process. It's okay that you don't know yet..you're only 18..just know your core values and go from there!!  |

Yeah Amanda, I'm glad you agree that the location CAN affect it, but isn't the main thing that does. I guess I just don't know where people are coming from all the way, when they say they can't learn who they are just because they live in my area. I think they just haven't tried.  |

Hi, Icyfire Every single day, we learn a little something of ourselves. Every now and then we have an earth-shaking experience, but mostly it's a long, slow grind. Good to read you, lady. Write on....  |

Thanks Xylanthia It's crazy how people can change so much. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. You can meet some one, and two years later, they'll be a completely different person just because of a life situation. Perhaps it's not always that drastic of a change, but still...We're changing all the time. It's kind of cool actually, to look at yourself and analyze and observe as the process unfolds. Maybe I Think too much. lol |

They must think the larger cities have "soooo" much more to offer with all the different types of people and because there is so much more to do. Because there are more clubs to get drunk at and make out ... it helps you to find out who you are in the long run! LOL, poo on that :P I think those people are teh ones who have always wanted out and to move on to bigger things |

Kronk! I haven't seen you in a while. Maybe I haven't just came around enough...Hope you've been good. You put what I was trying to say in a good way. It's very true, the way you put it. |

I think all teenagers complain about where they live. That's my experience anyway. I don't think it makes a difference where you live to find out about yourself. Who you are changes constantly, based on influences from your environment. As you move through the course of life, you just pick up more experiences that shape who you are. I came from a small town, and then moved to the suburbs. Is it fun? No. Have I changed? Yes, but I attribute that to growing up. I'm moving to a big city in the fall, and we'll see how much I've changed. However, the 'burbs will still always be ingrained in me..somewhere. I want pizza!   |

Knowing who you are and what you want out of life comes from within. It doesnt matter were you live. So, I guess I agree with you =)  |
