Can people change?

Some people say that people never change, but I find that hard to believe. Not particularly speaking through experience, I think it's possible for people to change, and they do. But I think that one question can get mixed up with another.

For example, "People don't change" sometimes really means "People don't change into what I want them to be". Not always, but sometimes that's what people really mean.

Maybe it's not that people can't change, but that they don't. I think maybe people do have the capacity and ability to change, but they have to want to - they don't just change because they "should".

So can people change? Yes, but that doesn't mean that they will, or that you can do anything about it if they don't. But that's just one girl's opinion, as per usual!
