 Journal Activity 5: Wear a Mask

People often compare themselves to others. They also

wear different masks or put on different faces, depending
on the norms of the social situation they are in. Masks
provide a comforting way for you to hide your true selves
and fit in and they serve as a protective barrier to avoid
getting hurt. Teenagers like you, often go through
tumultuous times and experience a roller coast of
thoughts, feelings and behaviors leaving you more
vulnerable to loss of identity.
