normal is acting the way people want you to act.

I hope it works this time-

What is Normal?
- Essentially, nothing is ever normal. Everything is unique. If we look at it, “Normal” can be defined as the action or reaction that occurs most often due to a certain cause. Normal is conformity. For example, should Mr. Cummins crack a joke in the middle of class and everyone laughs except for one person, the people who are laughing would be considered acting “Normal” whereas the person who did not laugh is not “normal”, or “abnormal”. Unusual may also be used. To be abnormal is to simply be different, and to be normal is to be the same.

Deciejoy Moreno

Normal is what society expects you to be.

Jennifer Thai

What is normal?

Normal is what people believe is real and everyone should be normal.

Joyceann Mangalindan

What is normal?

A way a person acts in their own natural way may be what they call normal. Because everyone is different, everyone has their own definition of "normal". Normal is uniqueness.

Yvonne Pham

Normal is what society expects of you.

Cathy Frey

Normal is what people pretend to be when they want to hide their weirdness.

Graham Cross

Normal is becoming part of a "crowd" and blending in within a population.

Kristine Earl

What is normal? Everyone has a different perspective on what is normal. Media today tries to define what normal is. Media tries to make people think they have to look a certain way to be normal. Everyone just wants to be accepted. But in my opinion, everyone is an individual, therefore, no one is normal. No one can agree on every single thing. People like different types of music, movies, food, clothing, etc. People have different thoughts and things they go through in life that may shape who they are as a person now. No one is the same. So yeaaah. Normal is undefinable.

Peter Yam

What is normal?

Normal is to be a common type, usual, and regular. Normal is being a sane human.

Tony Shiu

What is normal?

Conforming to a standard, usual, or expected.

Something that isn't different

Normal- nothing special

no type

plain

Jasmine Quintanilla

Normal is blending into your surroundings and losing your sense of unique individuality.

Lori Jhane Marcelo

Normal is when you act like a human being. A human being makes mistakes, forgets, and gets distracted. But it has a bright side like smiling, having fun, and using your emotions.

Nathan Han

What is normal?

Normal is the standard by which we are expected to follow. It is the typical behavior or condition that people are accustomed to.

Venus Shih

Normal is blending in to the crowd and being a follower. "Normal", has no individuality, no personality. Normal is what everyone tries so hard to be, or not to be; it depends on what you want your place in society to be. But truth is, nobody is normal. Everyone is unique and special. You just have to recognize that individuality and flaunt it.

Be normal? Nah.
Be a strong individual? Yes.

DAVID LE

What is normal?

Everyones definition of normal is different. What one would consider normal someone else would possibly consider out of the ordinary.

Emily Kessinger
