changes in personality-middle school

Who am I? What is my personality? What are my interests? These are all questions that have become harder and harder for me to answer as I have progressed through middle school. Isn’t answering questions about yourself supposed to be easy? Before middle school, I would’ve easily answered yes to that question. What happened to me after elementary school was that I was cast into the pot of swirling insecurity, steaming emotion, and bubbling discovery - middle school. Along with the pot came a bunch of very different judgmental and self-conscious people, who I used to call my friends. And I, along with others, went from a cube of solid personality, to a diluted mixture of average society, just to fit in. That is when i lost my purity, my personality.
