No offense to anyone on here, but I haven't seen a single post I completely agree with. Here's what I have to say and have found to be true:
Normal does NOT mean average.
Normal is what is accepted by society as a whole. For instance, the normal '50s family was considered to be a father that supported his family financially, a housewife that stayed at home all day and was supportive, a son that was smart and played football, and an innocent cheerleader daughter that had a decent education. The average '50s family consisted of a alcoholic and abussive father, a depressed mother, a punk son that did what he wanted, and a daughter that got pregnant too young. That really was the average family of that time.
However, normal can turn into a much smaller view. A group of friends do tend to generally dress alike. Even if outsiders from the group may consider them abnormal, the friends will think they are the normals ones.
In other words, there are at least two forms of normal; there is the normal of what is accepted by society; than there is also the normal of what is comfortable. Both of these forms of normal do have tendencies to pressure conformity onto others, but it's not always successful.
