Working on an essay and could really use some help. I just need a variety of different answers and would really appreciate any kind of answers.





My essay is about interviewing people on these questions:
1.Do you ever feel pressure from your own social clock theory? This could be a pressure to get married, date someone, or even just have a certain thing done by a certain age.
2.Do you think at your age it is hard to make friends, why or why not?
3.Is bullying still something that occurs to your peers or you? Or is it uncommon to see that nowadays.
4.Do you ever question who you are as a person? For example, have you ever asked yourself why you are on this Earth or alive?
5.Have you ever been set apart or away from something because of your gender, race, belief, or even age? Can you tell me more about it?

    1.Yes
    2.Yes , because adults tend to be fake,tough to find genuinely honest peopke,I still have my good childhood friends from my boarding school and honestly,I trust them and they trust me sooo much because we practically lived with each other longer than with families and faced shits together.
    Making friends now at my age is possible but very difficult . I did in fact meet some of my best friends in the last recent years so I'm quite lucky I crossed paths with those amazing souls but I have no more energy to voluntarily make friends.
    3.I did see a guy in my class get low key bullied,he was little kinda childish (had some brain problem).Though I could never find out who used to steal his home made lunch,I still helped him by keeping his lunchbox with me as soon as he came to class.
    4.I do. Sometimes,I even cry thinking about my family's death in future sI always think that I shouldn't have been born or I think why wasn't I born in a super rich family or with a hot body, fucking beautiful face. So , pretty often,my brain decides to lead an awesome life @ 3 am only to end up reading bl onnmy bed again.
    5.Weird flex but in our traditional belief,girls aren't allowed to eat chicken asshole or they end up being pregnant before marriage.
    Other than that, it's all good.
    My papa himself brings tequila and local rice alcohol for us sisters in every auspicious occasions,he says,"Better to enjoy alcohol in the safe watch of family rather than trying to enjoy it illegally and ending up in trouble like drunk driving " LOOOOL.

    1.yes
    2. Yes. I feel like it's hard for people my age to accept all sides of me. I don't like hiding myself so I find it hard to get along with people all the time. I don't get into fights or anything but I think it's also because I never deny anything or raise my voice against anything that I'm looked down upon.
    3.in my region it's uncommon.
    4.a long time ago but now I've come to the conclusion that I'm just another lifeform on this planet formed through natural selection.
    5. I can't really recall any such circumstances.

    1. Yes
    2. Not really. You see the same people everyday so you kinda get along naturally.
    3. Depends on what you see as bullying. I would say there are certain people you avoid cause they're 'odd' (I'm guilty of this as well)
    4. Yes
    5. Religious family so yeah they see some things as immoral but at the end of the day I don't give a shit so I do it anyway.

    Thank y’all for answering!!! This really helps

    1)yes
    2)yes because of how I was raised, I tend to have a higher maturity level so most people don't understand me soi find it hard
    3) Bullying is still extremely common in almost every class/ year. It's so serious but no one is dealing with it and that needs to start happen or else some bad stuff can happen like suicide going up
    4) yes unfortunately I have questioned myself and often think negatively which is dangerous as it almost led me to suicide
    5) I've been looked at weirdly for being a gurl who wanted to join Jujitsu? I've been looked down upon because of my age as I've been thought to be too immature because it's stereotypical that I wouldn't be mature yet and I believe in rights for animals but am never taken seriously

    Sorry it's short but I hope it helpsヾ(☆▽☆)

    1- there might be in the future, but for now no, thank God.

    2- Yes, getting to know new ppl isn't hard, but choosing trust worthy friends whom you'll be comfortable with is the hard thing. :)

    3- well, depends on what type of bullying? In general? Or specified to college/school? If in college, although I don't see it that much, my friends still would tell me about it, but in general? Yes bullying/harassment can be found between famliy members/coworkers etc! F them all!

    4- Yes, a lot like really a lot.

    5- Ahh kinda yes, I think? they put gender before religious beliefs at some points which isn't okay at all sinners are sinners no matter what gender they belong too!
    Like some things are prohibited for girls but it's okay for boys! Which hella annoying cuz these things could be illegal in the religion like having sex before marriage, the blame on girls alone! Boys aren't to blame! Which is a fucked up thing cuz both parties are to blame!
    Some other things aren't illegal in religion at all yet in the eyes of the society it's okay for boys but weird if done by girls like some sport activities boys are praised for what they do and it's weird if girls did the same, they even criticize them in cruel rude way!

    And so many things ugh God I hate this,
    I'm thankful for my family for teaching me what's right and wrong from the religious and logical presbctives that if something is wrong then it's wrong for both genders,
    but I really hate this society and the huge pressure they put on girls!


    Feel free to ask me whatever you want, I'll answer as much as I can.(≧∀≦)

    1. Yes. Dating, but specially graduating and getting a good job (unemployment rates are getting higher in my country).
    2. Yes. I think it's easy to meet people, but not friends. People don't trust each other .(including me). So we tend to be polite, but not close to new people. And the old friendships have their own lives and concerns so most of them get warm.
    3. I think it's very uncommon at my age. I just can't remember abusive bosses or work-related sruff, but I don't think it's bullying like in school.
    4. Everyday. Dealing with anxiety is hard.
    5. Yes. I had problems when I was child bc of race (I'm mixed, but with visible black features). Other kids used to judge my looks and hair. I wasn't invited for a party at that time. I had problems as child with early puberty. I had to change clothes in a separate room when all the kids were together and I was called at the principal bc I should wear a bra and stuff like that. Belief I don't know if I can consider it bc I don't have one, so people don't invite me to religious stuff, but I prefer but going so that doesn't even count. And I had problems work age before on interviews

    1. Yes. Mostly dating, getting married, having kids once I graduate with my degree.
    2. Im 22, and I feel like it is harder to make friends because I'm a little bit more picky now compared to when I was younger and I want friends who are going to be more long term and who I feel comfortable being myself around.
    3. I personally don't see a lot of bullying with people around my age (I avoid people like that) but I've heard from friends and people in other programs (clinical psychology graduate program) that bullying still takes place. Although now its more of trying to isolate and ostracize the victim.
    4. Yes, lol. More like I think about what's my purpose, do I actually have one/ need one.
    5. I've definitely been set apart for my gender my ENTIRE life by my family (there were big differences growing up between me and my brothers)-- I wasn't allowed to date, stay out late, I had to get better grades, had to be independent, couldn't be overly depend on people, go to college, get my PhD, etc. etc. and may brothers never had those expectations. Also based on race, I'm Black, White, and Mexican and I frequently have people come up to be and tell me I look exotic and ask where im from or something like that (when that isn't something they would ask a white person). Or comment on how I speak and tell me I could be mistaken as white if I they talked to me over the phone. Also be multi-racial there is always that pressure to try and fit and conform but when you belong to such a variety of different cultures and ethnicities its almost like you have the pressure to choose. Also with religion, I'm an atheist and the majority of my family is either religious or at least very spiritual and they just don't understand me and dont try to and they use to frequently try and force their own beliefs on me (which I think is just wrong, like do I try and convince them not to believe in their god... no I do not, they'd be offended but why do they think its okay for them to do that to me).


    Good luck on your essay!!!
