What makes you YOU?Identity is everything about yourself. It’s more about what’s on the inside like your personality and beliefs but you often express these things on the outside through clothes, hairstyles etc. It’s important to know who you are for all sorts of reasons; it helps with confidence, your aims in life and defines what you’re all about. |
Not really sure...Being in care or a care-leaver can make ‘identity’ a little tricky to establish. But it’s not all about family-trees, it’s all sorts of things – likes, dislikes, personality, what you believe in, religion, faith… A lot of these things are in the process of being decided in your early years of life, especially as a teenager when you’re learning loads and trying out new stuff, so it can get a bit confusing. |
Baa...No one likes a sheep (no we don’t mean those little, white, fluffy cuties!) we mean following the crowd, wanting to be like everyone else... ... YAWN! Obviously we’ve all got similarities but it’s cool to be different! (sounds kinda cheesy but it’s true!) Whether it’s clothes, music, personality...it makes us all the more interesting and attractive to others so go with it! |
For a lot of people, but not everyone, religion and/or faith can be important in their lives and play a big part in forming their identities.Do you belong to a particular religion or follow a certain faith?Researching these areas may help you to work out a little more about yourself.It can also be interesting to find out about your ethnicity; ethnic groups have specific cultures which can influence members’ identities. |
