Welcome to the real world. It's wonderful to read that you listen to different people with different opinions. There is what is known as freedom of choice and at 15, you should know right from wrong. There isn't always just one answer and not everything will always be black/white. We live in a diverse planet and the best you can do is to listen and educate yourself so you make the correct decision/opinion for yourself. Sounds like your parents have done a great job, make the next 80 or so years even better.

I'm the same way and I do have some advice. It's okay to not feel an opinion one way or another, to be on the fence, or to even see both sides of the situation. Just one thing: if you are any of the 3 things above, don't get into a discussion or argument with someone else. You'll either sound wishy-washy or you'll end up agreeing with the other person which defeats the purpose of having an argument.

Go with the flow... you can't be everything to everyone. Try to hear both sides to a story, maintain responsibility and show kindness when you can- a little bit does go a long way- hope this helps. Keeping an upbeat positive attitude helps, smile everyday and eat chocolate. Be you.... unique.

you don't have to agree with everyone else,it is ok to dis agree.even if you are the only one who feels a certain way.at least you have a thought on the issue.someday your thought will be the one everyone will pay attention to.and it is ok to be wrong just be willing to say it.when it happens.that's how we learn.don't choose sides say what you think about the issue and be willing to state why you feel the way you do.you never know you may come up with the answer everyone missed. go easy on yourself..

Yes..well it is nice that you care about other peoples opinions and feelings..it's gonna come back to haunt you though cause when you can't stand up for what you beileve in you are gonna let people walk all over you. Stop and think of whats important to you. and screw what other people think. .. And you don't need to choose sides for anything.. be your own person and be on your own side.

You have to think for yourself. You cant worry what other people are going to think or you wont get no where, they will just take advantage of you if you dont have your own opinions or a voice.

u can never know everything about anything, its gud that u are listening to others opinions, but u also have to go out and find out about the thing for urself, then use the knowledge u've gained to draw ur own conclusion ⥠gud luck!

We all go through this at one point. I would take a deep breath and relax. An idea is something that you strongly believe in. I would focus on what you personally believe and go with that.

I think I would try not focusing on what other people think. Your an individual, you have a brain! Try to not think about what people other people believe and choose for yourself!

Go with your gut. And yes, you should be sensitive to how things will affect those around you. It's called integrity.
