My interests and personality aren’t the same as some of my friends. Do I need to change? —Insecure in Iligan City

Friend Magazine, 2020/08 Aug

Dear Insecure,

You are a one-of-a-kind child of heavenly parents, and you are loved! Heavenly Father created us all to be different. He gave us different talents and personalities so we can help each other and make the world better. We need all different kinds of people!

Don’t worry about comparing yourself to others. Instead, focus on trying to be more like Jesus Christ. He will help you become the best you that you can be!
