"and what kind of music do you play?"

Nov 06, 2009 15:21

so it occurs to me that for most of our lives we are waiting to be fit into a group.

My students - 12 and 13 year olds - are always asking me "what kind of music do you play?" and then ask the followup "is it (fill in the blank)?"

I guess it's just easier to fit into the blank. But it made me wonder about the pre-teen need to both fit into a group and to be yourself.

Is there a blank you fit in when you were in High School? Do you still fit into that blank now? Do you want to? Did you ever?

peace,
