  1. This speaker is exactly right. We need to be "weird" or unique. We shouldn't aspire to be what others call "normal" because there is no "normal". As he said, being normal is like a disease. Almost everyone wants to be "normal" but there is no normal. Everyone is different and they shouldn't hide that they are different, they should show that they are different. Embrace it.

  2. I feel like this video could help a lot of people. The reason i think it could help a lot of people is because there is a lot of people in this world that are afraid of being themselves. This video can show people that no matter what people say you get to chose how you act. This video can also show people that if they weren't unique we wouldn't be able to tell the difference in people.In conclusion this video is showing people that no matter what they get to chose how they act and that everyone has their own personality.

  3. The video above is a strong statement about how to live your life and in my opinion it is true. We should be able to act they way we want because inside, everyone has something weird about them. "There is no normal" as it states in the video, people should just start be themself and not give anything about what others think of us.

  4. I liked this video because it talks about how being weird is not a bad thing. This video helps people understand that it is ok to be weird. The guy on the video talking said pretty much that all of us are weird in our own way. He goes on to talk about how it is ok to be weird. What he talks about his that it is just fine to be weird.

  5. This video is explaining that being weird is ok. It shows how you're unique and different, but everyone is different. You should never change for someone or to be "popular". You just have to be yourself no matter who you are. The world would probably be a better place if everyone would just get that everyone is different and deosnt mean you can judge them for that. We are all unique in our own ways.

  6. This man is exactly right, we need to be weird. "Normal" is not normal, normal is fake. We live in a world where people think normal is okay but it's not. Being weird is being your own person and that is okay. Weird is better than being "normal." There is no such thing as "normal" other than fake. Weird is real, it's you. Weird is how you can express yourself as a person. The man speaking is right, you may get put down and you may be hurt by being the person you are but being who you are is better than fake. Normal kills people, weird creates people. No one becomes successful by fitting in or being "normal." Think about Einstein, he was not normal. He was weird! Look how successful he is. Weird is the way to be.

  7. Not one person in this world is exactly like the other. We are all different and unique. Instead of being afraid of weirdness, we should embrace it. No one is normal. Normality is something that is impossible to achieve, because in the end we all have a weird side. That fact that we share this quality makes us equals and we should be able to lift each other up because of our imperfections.

  8. You're weird but that's okay. Everyone has a little bit of weirdness inside of them. I feel that this is true you shouldn't hide your true self honestly if they can't accept you when you're being weird they can't see you at your best they don't deserve to, they should earn it. I think this because when I'm acting weird and being my true self and people look at me and give me this judgy look, I just keep being myself because if they don't like me at that time they don't get to see my at my normal self in time.

  9. I think that this video is amazing because it is telling us to be ourselves and to not be a follower,but to be a leader.I really like how told us that he got hurt by what others said because he was different.Today people try to dress or act a certain way to impress someone like he said but that really isn't important.

  10. How weird are you talks that we are all unique and that we need to show it without hiding it and understand that not everyone is normal that everyone has a weird side to them which is unique and different from everyone else.

    "We are all bunch of naked weirdos". It is okay to be weird as long as you are yourself. People always pick on people on how the act. It doesn't matter how you act it is how you are kind and respectful to other people. i am a weirdo and it is okay to be like that.

  14. I believe that this video and it's topic are trying to encourage people to be comfortable with themselves even if they had been put down in the past for showing who they are. I think this because in the video it spoke of people who had expressed themselves and were judged or perhaps bullied because of it and convinced themselves not to express themselves again...

  15. It is okay to be weird. If you were not weird or different it would be very boring. If you were weird or different there would be more challenges. The teachers would be able to teach different ways.

  16. How to be weird, he was talking about how weird we all are and he said can't we all just be weird and said don't worry about other people telling you that you are weird and the point is that we can just be the same like a weirdo.

  17. Who is someone you look up to? The person you most likely look up to is in fact, weird or different in a way, or else you wouldn't have noticed them. In a world full of different people the "normals" aren't as successful as the "weirdos".I believe that he had a point as to not notice them. Out of the millions of people, you notice that one person and look up to that one person.

  18. It says that everyone can look and be like whatever they want. In the video it says some people could look normal while others might not. If you act normal you will not get bullied because you are normal like them

  19. Why is weird a bad thing? Most people find that being weird or different as a bad thing. When in fact it is not. Being weird is something that all of us can do but instead of expressing our weird qualities we hide them. We hide them because we are scared of being judged by others because being different is wrong and we all have to be normal right? Wrong, we all need to start expressing ourselves and everything weird about us. Life is to short to be normal.

  20. In a world where you can be anything, be kind. be kind to those who are unique. And lets face it, who isn't unique. Be kind to yourself and everyone around you.

  21. You can look the same as everyone else, you can act just like everyone else, but you will never be able to unlock your full potential unless you be yourself and be weird, I think that's what the video was trying to tell us

  22. The purpose of this weird video(see what I did there?) is that everyone is weird. People are always weird in some sort of way. Normal people are just so boring and dull. Weird people seem to get some attention, unlike normal people who just do things that they do repeatedly.. Like a schedule... The video also tells you that you can do whatever you want and it won't be illegal(mostly). Like have an afro or glow in the dark noses....... You can make yourself the way you want to(without harming yourself).

  23. I think that this video gives a great message it is saying don't be a follower be a leader. Don't be afraid to be the real you. It is also saying you don't have to be normal just be you.

  24. Not one person in this world is exactly like the other. We are all different and unique. Instead of being afraid ofnot being normal, we should be ourself. You will never be normal. Being normal is trying to being like someone else. Us as humans are too unique to be normal. We spend most of our lives trying to "fit in" and be like everyone else. We have the opportunity to embrace our weridnes. Let's take this chance and embrace it.

  26. This is talking about how important kind and forgiveness is. Not everyone is the same or perfect that's why we need to see the beautiful qualities in a person. Yes everyone is different and that's unique because if everyone were to be the same that would be boring you would all know the same things but everyone being different you can all put one great quality you have put them together and get something ordinary something that you have never seen before.

  27. We all unique in our own ways. People make fun of us and that's not ok. But what is ok is being yourself. Some people may laugh but when it comes to them they are going to realize that it's not ok.

  28. It talks about how everyone's in some way is weird. But people reject that uniqueness about us. The one way to please them is to act more like them, to act more normal. but no one is perfectly normal we are all weird in a way.

  29. People need to understand that being themselves is ok. This presentation was such a huge enlightenment and highlighting key for people who act like somebody else to fit in. People are afraid to be hurt by others comments and words so they make a pointless effort to fit in with the people who are deemed cool. If people are going to help this, they need to be the kind person who cares for others and helps them when they are going in a misdirection to please other people. Everybody is "weird," but that's not a bad thing. Your weird is who you are, and what you like, not what others like or think.

  30. Everybody's different even if we like it or not. We have the choice to act upon it. A lot of people are afraid to express their weirdness due to bullying and the fear of people not liking them. So they hide their weirdness even if that's their best talent. We don't need to hide our weirdness because someone says they don't like you. If someone said that to me, I'd ignore them. I'll continue being my weird self because that's who I am and no one can change that or take that away from me.

  31. "Be weird" I think that's truly at the heart of what he's saying. We are all unique. Some of us try to become "normal" so we can be noticed, when in fact it's our abnormalities that attract attention. He's saying that we would all live a better life if we were just true to ourselves rather than true to someone else's ideas. We were all made unique, we were all made to be exactly who we are, and you shouldn't try to change that just to please people who honestly don't care about you. If they cared about you, they wouldn't want you to change who you are. So by being yourself, you find who really matters in your life, and you find what you really care about. So be weird.

  32. This video is about embodying your unique personality and your abnormality. The speaker in this video is saying that you notice people by their weird and different traits and characteristics. Without abnormalities, everyone would be the same and it would make this world really boring. I think the video is really saying that we need to be empowered by our weirdness and we need to dress and act differently than the rest of our peers because we need to become comfortable with ourselves. Even if you have been put down in the past because of something you wore or something you said, you need to step out of your comfort zone and do it again, not to make yourself vulnerable to others, but to become more comfortable with yourself.

  33. This video is representing how it is ok to be weird because that is what makes you the person you are today. Its ok to step out of your comfort zone a little bit and it may be a risk but truly it could be worth it. He said that the one person you admire, probably has some weird unique quality about them and if they didn't then we wouldn't have noticed them and that is why you admire them because you like their personality. I feel we should value our unique qualities because then you might meet someone with that personality you do ad then you become really good friends. Being weird is the new normal and I feel like everyone should know that because then they won't be so scared to step outside the box.

  34. In the video the guy was saying that when we were kids we were always judged by our weird things, which made us change who we are and made us look for approval rather than just being ourselves. He also said that our weird things make us uniqe and stand out more than some. A reason we may admire someone is because of their weirdness that stood out to us. So basicly we need to be happy with our weirdness and stay us because being judged is like a virus and we don't like that virus, so stay you, is mainly what I got from what he was saying. So we need to be kind to the weird people in the world because they are unique. Everyone is unique in their own ways, but some shy away from it because of childhood expirences, so don't listen to others negativity. Your weirdness makes you, without your weirdness your kind of a just like a zombie, you listen to others opinions and follow them instead of yourself which can make you unhappy in your future.

  35. Everybody is weird. If we we excelled at being normal, we would not succeed in life. Somebody doesn't stand out when they're being normal, they stand out because they were weird. Some people imagine a perfect world where everybody is normal, but the truth is that a perfect world is where everybody can express themselves as an individual. No one to tell them to stop, no one telling them they're abnormal and different, but instead everybody knowing that their lives matter and they can make a difference.

  36. Weirdness is something that should be celebrated. A lot of people make fun of others for being 'weird' but being weird is what makes you unique. The speaker tells us about successful people that are weird. Any person who created something new and creative is weird. They did something cool and unique without approval of someone else. The speaker was saying that approval is why most people change to being normal. I agree with this statement. If we didn't get criticized for being weird we would not change into a normal person. Normal wouldn't be a thing. I overall completely agree with the speaker.

  37. No one in the world ever achieved their full potential by being normal. Everyone that you look up to or admire, has a sense of weirdness that caught your eye. Your own weirdness is what you have to find to excel in what you are doing. Having your own weirdness instead of being normal gives you a step above everyone else, and you should be celebrating what is weird in you along with others. This video proves that, so let your inner self out.

  38. Not two people in this world are the same. This video is about being yourself. The speaker is talking about how being weird is how people notice other people. If you weren't weird and you were normal then people wouldn't have notcied you. You probably wouldn't be friends with the people you are friends with without being yourself and showing how weird and unique you are. So insead of blending in and trying to act like everyone else embrace what makes you weird and show it off to the world.

  39. This video is saying that normal isn't normal. Normal is fake. No one is normal. We need to be weird. Some people just don't want to be themselves and try to act like other people. Everyone is weird in their own ways. Without abnormality, everyone would be similar according to personalities and that would just become boring. He is saying that we need to embrace our inner weirdness and dress unlike their peers. We can all be unique in our own ways. In conclusion, we just need to be ourselves, and be weird.

  40. In this video the guy says to embrace your weirdness because its something abnormal that normal people don't do.Also that you need to embrace your unique traits like, personality,creativity,smartness,funkiness and thoughtfulness.Most people have at least one of these traits and it makes them who they are. I think that's what the guy in video was trying to say,That all people have one thing that makes them unique or wierd and that's what makes those people unique in their own way.
