Friends Don'T Hurt

Why don't they like me for who I am? I try to be like them, talk like them, dress like them. They make fun of me when I get excited. And laugh at me to my face. I just want friends to accept me for who I am. Not for being who I think they want me to be. It hurts when I can't control myself, and do things they don't approve of. Why do I get in trouble, they told me to do it, and laughed. They tell me what to do, and I get mixed up in my head, because you told me not to. But they are my friends. I have to so they will like me. But they don't like me. Friends don't laugh at you. Friends don't hurt you.
