When children become teen agers, they start to worry more about how they look. They feel pressured to change the way they look or act because they want to fit in. The author of “Same Song” talks about this problem by writing about what her daughter and son do every morning. Her daughter puts on makeup, curls her hair, but she still doesn’t like the way she looks. Her son lifts weights, jogs a mile, but he too is not happy with the way he looks. This shows how as children grow, they start wanting to fit in. They judge themselves too harshly thus showing how growing up can be difficult. People start trying to change so that they can match what society says is acceptable or perfect, and this can make growing up an unhappy experience.
