yes, kind of because if you are a Nonconformist you should not have to tell someone just show it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think shes a nonconformist because she is being herself.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think she is a nonconformist because she/he says I want to wait until someone else did it first. then he/her says i also don't want anyone to think i'm weird either.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the speaker is a comformist because at the end were she didn't want to stand out or change herself until someone else did it some people wont judge her.

# data[].attributes.body
I think he or she isn't a nonconformist because he or she didn't want to go first so, he or she waited for some else to do it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the character is a conformist because he/she said"of course i waited for someone else to do it. i mean i didn't want anyone to think i was weird or anything"

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think their a noncomformist because the final line of the poem "I didn't want anyone to think I'm weird. You know what I mean?"

# data[].attributes.body
I think she is not a nonconformist because she said she waited until someone else did it first

# data[].attributes.body
I think they were not a nonconformist because they said that they wanted to be their own person then went against what they had originally said.

# data[].attributes.body
"I didn't want anyone to think i'm weird." She doesn't like her self.

# data[].attributes.body
It shows lack of confidence because she is actually telling them that she is onconformist

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think they are a nonconformist because they first said they were one but then at the end they changed it completely by saying, " I don't want anyone to think im weird."

# data[].attributes.body
She thinks that people see her as different but a weird different and that lowers her confidence.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think she/he is a nonconformist because she is not confident in what the choices she makes until someone else does

# data[].attributes.body
"of course i waited for someone else to do it i mean i didn't want to look weird" this shows that the character didn't want to be different from everyone which means that they dont have as much confidence in themselves

# data[].attributes.body
The line that reflects his or her self confidence is when he or she waited for some else to do it because he or she didn't want anyone to think they are weird

# data[].attributes.body
No, she says she dose want to be like anyone else but some one had already done what she did

# data[].attributes.body
She may have little self esteem because she said, "I didn't want anyone to think that i'm weird."

# data[].attributes.body
I think that they are not a nonconformist because they said they were and then totally went against the definition.

# data[].attributes.body

She wants to try something new without being disrespected

# data[].attributes.body
The irony of this poem is the speaker constantly questioning who they are

# data[].attributes.body
"I waited until someone else did it first. I didn't want anyone to think that I'm weird. You know what I mean?" She wanted to do something but she didn't want anyone to make fun of her or tease her.

# data[].attributes.body
He/She says she is a nonconformist yet they continued to wait for another person to do it which makes them a conformist in itself

# data[].attributes.body
The irony is that in the beginning they feel special and unique but after she said that they said they will wait until someone does it first so they don't feel different.

# data[].attributes.body
The line would probably have been "I didn't want anyone to think I was weird" cause if you want to be yourself you don't care what people think of you.

Nonconformist
I don’t want to be anybody but myself.
So, I shaved little lines in my head and dyed my hair purple and green (with just a hint of orange) and pierced my nose and hung a gold earring in it. AS AN EXPRESSION OF WHO I AM (who am I?) Of course, I waited until someone else did it first. I didn’t want anyone to think I’m weird. You know what I mean?
