Follow the Leader

Have you ever noticed when you hang out with someone a lot you start to take on some of the same characteristics?
Maybe you start sounding the same on the phone?
People might get you mixed up because you hang out so much together, or you might have the same profile pic on Facebook as your bestie (you know the rare one where you both look awesome)...
You might watch the same movies or read the same books. Hello Hunger Games?!
You might play computer games together and even when you're not together you're still playing together online. You're constantly communicating with each other and taking on each others characteristics. You're learning from each other which can totally be a great thing but you can also pick up some of their bad habits too...
Like everytime you catch up you eat junk food.
Or the words that you use, like using 'like' in your sentences all the time. Or sometimes using bad language. That one's a little too easy to pickup...
Maybe you start smoking or drinking because your bestie did? Or maybe your bestie started sleeping with their boyfriend or girlfriend so you thought it would be ok for you to start too..?

Who do you follow? Is there a person that you imitate?
It might be the Queen Bee at your school or it might be a favourite sports star or musician.



Who do you look up to? Who do you want to be like?

<----------- This guy? LOL!



If you're brave enough, post up the names of some of the people you follow and imitate...
