“Of which there is only one; one and no other; single, sole, solitary.” By this definition, no one is unique. We are all part of a larger group of humans. But genetically we are unique, our DNA different slightly. (Unless you have an identical twin) So the question that comes to mind is, “Who is unique?” We come to a realization of how vague the word unique really is.

We are feed as children the repeating praises of “Everyone is unique, everyone is special in their own way!” but, what is the real evidence of this? Isn’t it i

ronic that at the exact time we are trying to learn how to act by emulating our peers and parents is the exact time that uniqueness is stressed on us? Why don’t parents spend more time stressing uniqueness on their teenagers?

As we are teenagers we are looking for this. Throughout high school we are trying to figure out who we really are and why we are here. Once we obtain this state of mind, we don’t have to worry about appearing the weekend’s biggest party or going to the football game just because peers will be there. This feeling of wanting to belong eventually wears off after we have our epiphany of uniqueness.

Is uniqueness really praised in our society? Do we put unique people on a pedestal or do we shun them away from the group? We are shown as children that uniqueness is a desirable quality and as we get older uniqueness
