How do teens express their individuality?


Young people have a particular relationship with the whole world.  They want to express their individuality.  Many young people belong to youth cultures.  Some of them dress in a shoсking way to express their  identity.  They have brightly colored hair.  They rebel against the society or the older generation. They listen to aggressive music.  They reject everything.  Some of them are drug users or rock and roll fans.  Their behaviour and attitudes differ from social norms.  They do not conform to society’s standards and support a liberal attitude and lifestyle . They accept other people as they are.  They think they want to change the world for the best.  As for me, I think there are many ways express yourself.  For example, they can get good marks at school, be good at drawing, art and other kinds of activity. 
There is the result of the opinion poll about subcultures:
1.                  Do you agree young people must show  their individuality as they want?
Yes – 83 %  No – 9 %  I don’t know -  8 %
2.       Are you fond of a very extraordinary lifestyle of teenagers?
Yes – 15 % No – 27 % I don’t know – 58 %
3.                  Are you fond of ways chosen by modern teenagers to express themselves?
Yes -  6 % No – 79 %             I don’t know – 15 %
People who meet “strange” teens  are not satisfied  with their lifestyle. They are afraid of these young people, especially old people with conservative outlook on life. Sometimes the young themselves hate such teens
                   How do you express your individuality?

I listen to agressive music but i don't dress in a shocking way.
I want to change world for the best, but i do not protest against society.
My attitude to different subcultures is not the same. I approve some subcultures. Some subcultures make me laugh. There are even subcultures, which i hate.

I do not belong to any subkulture. But I can express my individuality. I do not have bright hair. I listen to music that I like. and wear clothes that I prefer. I do not approve of aggressive subcultures. and in general I think to be in a subculture is not to be a personality.

I express my individuality in my hobbies, at school. As for «strange» teens – everyone can express themselves. Some members of subcultures have brightly colored hair; some are aggressive and rebel against society. It is their way of life and their self-expression. We should be tolerant.

You can express your individuality without the subcultures. For example, in a special way to dress well to school, be an individual in your profession, in the form of communication and much more. I am trying to combine all this in a variety of ways.

I hate skinheads and emos. Skinheads are very agressive and emos are very depressive. Why people can't live without showing off?

Of course, some teens choose very extroordinary ways to express themselesfs. I think teens may do it in frames of low. Thay have the right to express their identity as they want.

I express my individuality in clothes and style. Sometimes I have bright make-up. I like to dress courageous clothes. I don’t rebel against the society and my parents. I try to get good marks at school.

Young people in different ways express their individuality. Recently it has become fashionable to appear odd or crazy. People put on a mask with the words "crazy" and feel secure. such people have a lot of inferiority complexes.
I express my individuality in art, songs, music, poems, paintings, books, stories = this is the best way to show your individuality. While clothing also plays a large role in this expression. "People meet by clothes ...." For some ones it is the most important thing in terms of identity.
