you don't need to try to fit in to have friends. if these friends were your real friends then they wouldn't care how you looked

i have gone to changing my accent to fit in

yes. so has and will everyone else once in their life

fitting in can gain confidence but its good to stand out as well

i have seen people starve just so they can be skinny

the thing is, you have to be yourself and love yourself for who you are. you have to be the person you want to be not the person everyone else wants to be. don't let anyone tell you that you are less than who you really are.
