What is not normal?

Bryan Tran

Normal is what the people want it to be. Normal is how the majority of people act, or at least how they're expected to act.

I believe the word normal is a word to describe what you think is the standard is for your expectations. Since everyone has different expectations, the word is relative. Say you believe green apples are normal while red ones are wrong. Meanwhile, a different person can say red apples are natural while green ones are imperfect. It's just people's opinion.

Jessica Topacio

Normal is someone that is considered weird in another's eyes.

Leanne Preposi

"I wish I was normal like you", "Why can't my family be normal like yours", "I need a normal life!". Everyone uses the word normal hypothetically, but what is "normal"? To me, normal is an unrealistic phrase that ordinary people throw around all the time. Trying to be normal is a mental issue, trying to perfect themselves  and comparing them self to others, while seeing only the flaws of their self, life style, and family and wishing it were different.  Normal is being the person who you are and not comparing yourself with others.

Viviana Santillan

Normal is whatever is familiar to a person and therefore makes them comfortable.

Xavier Good

Normal is fitting society's standards.

Johan Roberto

Normal is what people are used to. Like most people are used to using Facebook now so it's normal. And if someone was using Myspace or Friendster, people using Facebook would think that's weird and it's not normal. But really, no one is close to being normal because we're all different in our own way.

Marcello Mendiola

I am Normal!

Manisha Singh

Normal to me is just a word to describe something that is out of the ordinary.To be normal is saying everything is fine and nothing in the world can be wrong which to me is an utter lie,nothing will ever be fine and if it is then tell me where I need to be.The term normal is like saying that a fact in science you researched the other day will always remain untouched,and that's inaccurate since we can agree that facts in science change as things in life do.

Rebecca Tu

There is no such thing as normal.

Aaron Cohen

I think normal is relative. What you beleive is normal may not be what I beleive is normal. Therefore, nothing is normal and everything is odd. For example, you might think bathing once a week is normal while I find that idea to be disgusting. On the other hand, you might find my daily bathing to be totally absurd.

Jessica Balili

Normal is just being yourself.

Vincent Page

What is normal?
Normal is person's perception on what is logically correct in their mind. It is how they think the world should be portrayed. Normal is a word people would describe something that would follow their sense of understanding. When someone cannot comprehend something, it becomes not normal.

Cody Huber

What is normal?
I guess normal is simply what society dictates. People are influenced by their friends, family, and the media to conform to certain society norms. Dressing and acting certain ways and only certain ways is how society maintains what everyone should do, and therefore is considered normal .

Marcos Mancilla

Normal things are different for everybody..

Andrea La Roque

Normal is conforming to society. An average person without extraordinary or unusual characteristics.

Nathan Haaland

"What is Normal?"

Being normal all depended on how confident you are with yourself, and how others expect you to act. It is society that pushes us to conform to the whats normal. If you are fine with who you are then you are already normal in your own sense.

Andrea Vargas

Normality doesn't exist.

Sandy Olivera

I have no idea what normal is. Somebody that has a common type or regular. Maybe somebody plain is normal that isnt a charcacter or boring. But i am pretty sure their is no such thing as normal.

Jagdev Jhutty

I think that normal is ordinary. You don't stand out, and you remain in with the crowd.

Okay we missed Teacher Man's birthday

Matt Wiewiora

Normality

Marie Torres

Hi Mr. Cummins, my name is Marie Torres and I am in6th period. Thank you :)

Normal is whatever you think is normal! Your normal by doing you!

Annie

Normal is in your own definition. How you define it is your decision

Summer Anthony.

What is normal? Me. I is normal :P

Jeremy Bernardo

Normal is weird. I guess...
Normal seems... relative, depending on certain standards of varying topics.
For all we know, normal could be the most outrageous things we've ever known.

Brianna Gonzales

What's normal?

Normal is determined by what someone is use to or comfortable with. It varies from person to person. What I find normal could be strange to you. Normal for me would be utter chaos to my mother. It's what I use to and what I cling to for my own sanity.

Help?

k, hopfuly this is my first post..? ummmm I cannot spell :(

Jessica Do

I think normal is a term that describes what the majority of society think is common. But it also actually depends because, a person society would call unique would call themselves normal and everyone else around them would be unique. I don't think there is a true definition of normal

Helen Dang

Normal is anything that you believe it is to be :)

Yamilet Ramos

Normal is whatever seems right to you! so i think it depends on the person because normal to me may be one thing but to someone else it may be differrnt..

Jesse Calida

Normal is when everybody does the same thing and it isn't awkward.

Amy Tran

What is Normal?
-Normal is not something that can be defined.

Reena Tangco

There's no such thing as normal. Everybody's weird. "Normal" is just what we use to feel less awkward. And the font size of this post.

Bonny Lieu

To be normal is to be different.

Nathan Chung

"Normal" can be interpreted any number of ways, depending on our cultural standpoint and the context of the subject in question. One would have to write a multi-page essay to properly answer this question. Or I could just give an example:

Mr. Cummins is not a normal teacher

Jennifer Mai

Normal is the term we use to associate people, or things we consider as natural, regular, or usual.

Hung Do

What is normal?
Normal is when you feel comfortable around people.

Danica Cabrera

Normal is everything you do! ^_^

Evanielle Parinas

Normal is when you know that you don't have a mental disorder.

Melanie Narciso

Normal is everything out of the ordinary.

Bryant Phung

What is normal?

Normal is something ordinary and does not seem different. No one is normal, everyone is different in some way. Normal is the typical things everyone sees everyday. A mundane lifestyle can seem normal to many people.

Andrea Lopez

Normal is anything you feel it is.

Berenice Delgado

"Normal" varies depending on each person's perspective. Each person has their own ideas on what normal is based on their ideas, culture, and experiences. Therefore, the term "normal" cannot be defined in an exact way.

Margaret Nguyen

What is normal?
Normal cannot be defined; it's differs from person to person. To me, normal is what I'm comfortable with or used to. What's normal to myself may not be normal to others.

Ly Andy P6 psychology

What is normal?

I believe that normal is anything that is not out of the ordinary, doesn't stick out or screams "LOOK AT ME!" Normal people are those who conforms to society and sticks by the rules. Some adjectives that describes normal is : plain, simple, ordinary, and dull.

Brandon Casiano

What Is Normal?

Normal by definition is just oridnary, standard or medicore. But normal is something abnormal. Every single thing or everyone can not be normal because there will always be something unique to it.

Cheverlyn Casta

Normal is...

According to merriam-webster.com

...Uhm, idk, normal is whatever you want it to be!

Bye (:

Miranda Potmesil

Weird is normal.

Allison Chan

jason yao

Good: The government creates laws that enables the country to oversee many promblems
Bad: The cops are unfair sometimes

good/bad things about goverment

A good thing about government is the protecting, food, housing and the right to bare arms if crap hits the fan, bad thing about government is the money they waste on somethings

the government

One good thing about the government is that there is freedom of speech. A bad thing is that the government taxes a lot.

Priscilla Tijerino

Something good about the government is that they provide their citizens a safety net if they lose their jobs or for medical insurance

tyler silva

something good about the gov is they protect citizens very well. something bad about the gov is they spend too much money.

Matthew Tien

Good: Gives us freedom of speech and the right to practice the religion of your choice. Also, programs such as Social Security are important too.
Bad: Allows some monopolies, even though they are illegal.
