"Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?" this ever so famous line quoted from Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs sticks to the back of our minds more often than expected. Modern day witches gradually start to emerge in our world with the same intention, or shall we say insecurity, as the witch in the fairy tale - to have the satisfaction of being on top. Nowadays, more and more people, especially teenagers, begin to look in the mirror to see if they are satisfied with themselves. Vanity, which is being worthless and futile, causes this. When an individual feels worthless, he becomes insecure because he feels that he is not "worth it," regardless if it's true or not. This leads to even more troubling problems like fitting in the "in crowd," attaining high self-esteem and self-confidence, and finding one's true identity.
The feeling of worthlessness or simply called vanity leaves teenagers to have the craving to fit in.

Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Richard Mansfield was best known for the dual role...When one feels that he is not worthy, he seeks the attention of others and he feels that he needs their approval. What happens after this? Then, he tries doubly hard to fit in the "cool crowd" by wearing the trendiest clothes, saying the coolest lines, and doing the meanest things. This may make him one of the "cool people," but this evidently doesn't' make him commendable. Another common thing for trying-hard-to-fit-in teenagers to do is start the hazardous habit of smoking. Their very own peers may well become their very own adversaries because they are the ones who pressure them in taking up smoking. Eventually, these vulnerable teenagers lose their self-image in exchange for a place in the "cool crowd organization."
Being a teenager is indeed a very difficult part in the cycle of life.
