Rose

Every rose has its thorns just as every person has their flaws, and both are perfect just the way they are. You don’t need to wear a certain type of clothing or have a certain phone or smoke or do drugs or drink to be accepted by everyone else. All we need is to know that we are all perfect just the way we are, and if your friends can’t accept you for who you are, then they are not your friends.
