Becoming apart of any group can always be complicated, especially in these times. In today's society people, especially teenagers, can be very cruel to one another. Every teenager in America wants to become apart of that one special group in high school and or college, and sometimes they will do almost anything to feel accepted. Feeling accepted into that special group makes them feel better about themselves and boosts their self-esteem. They feel like they have plenty friends and won't ever feel rejected by anyone. Fitting in with the group is where difficulties come in. A lot of groups have a certain look about them, whether its the way they dress, the way they talk, or the way they act, filling those holes are not always easy. Some people want so badly to fit in with a group that they conform their image, which sometimes leads to things like anorexia or taking drugs. Is it really worth it to feel accepted? Only the person herself/himself can decide how and why her/his groups are worth waiting for.

There were two drivers, so each car split up around that general vicinity to find a parking garage, and we both ended up going to two different garages. After a great night of fun we went our separate ways to find our cars and go home. When my two friends and I got home and an hour passed we started to get worried because our friends still weren't returning home. We called the cops and some of their parents to see if maybe they went home to pick something up, but no such luck. Two hours later they scrambled in the door still crazed from their long adventure. For the next two hours we talked about the events that took place. Apparently, they had gone in the wrong direction because it was such a rainy black night. After wondering the streets for awhile, they realized they were lost. They started to ask for directions from people, and finally started accepting rides from those who offered. They accepted three rides, each from Black Americans. One of the rides refused to permit them to get of the car. This really petrified them. Finally, one of the girls persuaded the driver to stop at a nearby gas station. After getting out of the car they refused to get back in. From here, they began their search for the car once again. In the end, they found a very nice
