People do change in the last ten yeares I have changed. Back in the early 90's I was in my early twenties, I was the biggest dick, wise ass punk, you could ever know. I would be in Wildwood and just start trouble (fighting) for no reason. Everywhere my friends and I went we would start trouble. By the time I was 25, (1995) I started to change, now I don't strart any trouble, I don't fight unless it is absoultly necessary and I do not wise off to anyone. I am a much calmer and laid back then when I was in mu twenties. If you are talking about change like that then yes people can change. Are you talking about if you meet someone and you want them to change things in their life for you? In ny expierences and from what I seen in friends in is nearly impossible to change. Ex. I met this girl and she didnt like some things I did. Smoke weed , cuss, and sometimes I use derogatory words, (ni**er, sp*c, fa**ot, dyke )shit like that. I tried to change it all and I did for a while, but in the end I felt there was too much to change. She even got mad when my friends used the N word just to say what up to people. Would just leave, I thought the girl was crazy. But in life everyone is different, and thinking they can change for you, or trying to get them to change is near impossible. They need to do it for themselves first before you try to change for someone else
