Fake- One that is not authentic or genuine; a sham.
anything can be fake, advirtisments, make up, earings, products, telephone numbers, an address, a deal, a friend, an object, gold, silver, jewlery, and lots of other things. but one thing we do not realize that is fake-- people. now you may be wondering, how can people be fake? and thats all right.
not all people are fake, most people are genuine, but there are some individuals that have fake personalities. people who you think are really popular or friendly, maybe you dont notice that when they go to talk they put on this fake voice that sounds cheezy.
maybe you have someone who is in your school or neighborhood who does this.
i want you to answer some questions for me: why do you think these people act fake? are they hurting others? are they hurting themselves by doing what theyre doing? is this fakeness a good thing or a bad thing? will YOU be able to reconize if someone is fake? if you know that perons is fake, how will you treat them?

i HATE fake people. its just one thing i absolutely can't stand. i think people act fake because they either don't know how to make friends, or because they're (no joke) pathological liars, and they just run their mouth to impress people or get people to like them. of course they're hurting others, and they're hurting themselves even more. you can't live a life like that. fakeness is a horrible thing. most of the time you can notice someone who's fake right off the bat, as soon as you meet them. stay away. i wouldn't want to become involved with them, they only hurt people.

Like iamastar said, some people act fact because they are insecure about themselves and they want to fit in. Ir oder them to feel like they fit in, they camaflouge who they really are and act like what everyone else does. They are definitely hurting themselves because people don't like "fakes". They can relate to people who have actually been through certain things. They are making less friends then what they would if they actually act like themselves without tucking it away. I don't know if I would be able to identify a fake right away. I might actually trust them and end up getting hurt in the end.

I know a certain fake person. She hurt me so bad...anyways, she tricked me. I never imagined anyone could be so hypocrite. Just thinking about who she is inside makes me want to throw-up.

naturaly these fake people arent attracted to me. dont have to deal with them.

The Catcher in the Rye is all about this. You should read it, it's good. By J.D. Salinger.

I think people act fake because they are insecure with themselves and they feel like they must put on an act around everyone else. Yes, I think they are hurting others because they are not only selling themselves short of an opportunity to open up to someone and show them their true side but they are hurting others in that manner. I think it's a bad thing because if you don't know how to be yourself and open up to people and trust them then how are you going to have any healthy relationships with anyone? I think I can tell when someone is being fake. I will try and treat them like I want to be treated and try to get them to open up and not be fake.
