Peer pressure for a girl these days is so strong, for most of my life I have lived in Russia, the land of many tall thin bleached blonde Barbie dolls. The pressure to dress like a skimpy Barbie, and to be stick thin (seriously, it’s not like the States, one in about every 40 girls is overweight) is tremendous! I may not have lived in America for very long but it seems like it's hard here too, pressure to watch the same movies, listen to the same music, read the same books, wear the same brand of clothing, Uggs? Everyone needs a pair of those right? Seriously, the only unique people left are going to be the homeschoolers. No, I don't mean that, that's a little extreme. But my challenge to you is don't let it control you. Don't let the pressure of the world decide who you are going to be. You are unique, special, every one of you different! And that's what makes you so great :) don't lose that, don't ruin yourself. And don't get me wrong, being "in" is all cool, in moderation; just don't let it control you. If you like the Ugg style, go for it! But not if you're doing it to feel accepted.
