Yes i agree, most people have fake i.d's because they do not want people to know there true identity. I think the reason people they don't have a green card or owe alot of money to somebody.

I agree,

If someone didn't know who you were and they just met you, you could convince them that you were somebody even tho you weren't who you say you are. But if someone already knew them you couldn't convince them other wise.

Yes because they could act like someone they are not and try to be different.

Anthony-

I think it is possible to make people believe you are someone you are not. Some people have different additudes around different people. Some people who do that are people who are self centered.

Yes, i agree because some people try to be someone there not because they want to fit in with other people and be like them so they try there hardest to blend in.

I agree, the world's great wonders and arrogant people have easy believes he is a super star. A person who likes to play basketball, and by others compliment into Jordan, he really thinks he is Michael Jordan.

I agree with this statement only because some people choose to act like someone there not to get noticed or to be "cool." Also, they may act like that so people like them for who there not instead of who they really are.

No i dont agree with this statement because there are people that act like there all that and you can see it just by one glance. Like there are some people in this school that act like they are gangsters and you can see it just by looking at them and not even talking to them that they are trying to act like they are some other kind of person.

Cathy,

I agree. I think if someone pretends to be someone there not long enough and work at it people will actually start to fall for it. Some people can be really good at hiding who they really are simply because they dont want anyone to know. Its easy to pretend, the hard part is to get people to belive it. But it is possible.

Byron,
What do you mean: the real you will eventually come out?

Anonymous said...

Taylor

Probably because they want to fit in or like I said be "cool" so people will like them.

Anonymous said...

I think they do it becuase they want to try and fit in or dont want other people to know who they really are inside.

Cathy,

People may do it because they are afraid to reveal who they really are, they're afraid to be judged. Or they might do it to try and fit in with a certain clique of people.

I disagree because there are poeple that try in fit in with other groups when there nothing like the group there try in to fit in with. There was this one kid that wasn't all there at my old school and he was trying to fit in with the emo group when he wasn't even like that group.

I think that it would matter what you mean in this type of situation meaning by physically or verbally, you can dress a certain way and people could judge you but i don't think you could tell someone that you are sonmeone else

That is true Kerstin because I know people who act like they are all that around there friends and sooner or later there friends find out that they are not that kind of person and just dont want to hang out with them.

Jacob, a clique is groups of people that tend to hang out together. They would be like the 'preps', 'emos', 'jocks' ect.
