“ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter” (Geisel). To me this means that if people do not like you being yourself then they are not your real friends..Your real friends will care about who you are and still like you.
“ I think it means to be who we are and let the people who don't like us, not like us” (Mr. House). If you are doing something you like to do and the people around you are saying how you shouldn’t do the things you like, then you shouldn’t be around them. An example of this is one time i was working on my homework and some people around me were saying how they don’t do it until the last minute because they don’t want to waste their time that they could be doing fun things.

When you are in a bad situation like if you are out of money and won’t have enough money for you rent, they will let you stay at their place until you have enough money to pay. If you are out with your friends and you get hurt they will take you to the emergency room. They will help you on your homework when you need help. “ A true friend won’t mind if you tell them something that matters, a fake friend doesn’t matter if they mind” (Shaw). You can tell your true friends things that matter to you and they will listen and understand, but fake friends won’t care about what you have to say. They only care if it’s about them. Your real friends will try to understand what you are saying unlike those fake friends. In conclusion you need to have friends that will care about what you are saying and try to understand it. Surround yourself with people that will benefit you. Don’t let those people that dont like you justy not like you. Let those people do their own thing. All in all “ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter”
