Always be yourself

Chloe was a 10-year-old girl who loved to wear colorful clothes. She enjoyed mixing patterns and wearing funky hats. Her classmates often wore plain uniforms, but Chloe liked to stand out. Some kids at school teased her for being different. Chloe felt sad sometimes, but she loved being herself.

One day, a group of kids surrounded Chloe at recess. They laughed at her bright red shoes and rainbow scarf. "Why do you dress like that?" one of them sneered. Chloe felt her cheeks get hot, but she took a deep breath. She remembered her mom's words, "Always be yourself, no matter what others say."

The next day, Chloe was sitting alone when a girl named Mia sat next to her. Mia wore a bright yellow dress with purple polka dots. "I love your style," Mia said with a smile. Chloe's face lit up, feeling happy to find someone who appreciated her uniqueness. They talked and laughed, and Chloe felt less alone.

Chloe and Mia became good friends, celebrating their differences together. Soon, other kids noticed their fun and colorful outfits. Some even started wearing bright colors too! Chloe realized that being different was special and could inspire others. She learned that by being herself, she could make the world a more colorful place.
