Скачать или смотреть Short Story Sunday: Trying to be Like Everyone Else | A Story Every Young Person Needs to Hear

The pressure to fit in can slowly erase identity.

This Short Story Sunday explores what happens when young people compare themselves to others and begin losing sight of who they truly are.

This story highlights the emotional toll of conformity and the courage required to stay authentic. It encourages youth to reflect on the value of individuality and self trust.

At Three J Youth, we believe stories create space for reflection, growth, and connection. Short Story Sunday is a weekly series designed to help young people see themselves in real experiences and recognize that their feelings matter.

After watching, we encourage youth to reflect and share their thoughts.

Reflection Questions:
1. Have you ever felt pressure to change who you are to fit in?
2. What parts of yourself do you hide around others?
3. How does pretending affect how you feel afterward?
4. What does belonging mean to you?
5. Where do you feel most like yourself?

Youth are encouraged to reflect and share their thoughts by emailing [email protected]
