What does Superman mean to me? Look kid, I'ma straight shooter. You've come to a point in your life where you suddenly feel a need to define yourself. I'm here if you wanna be direct about things, but I'm glad you're trying to figure things out on your own. You're a good kid, Clark and that's why we named you after Superman. He's not just good, but other heroes look up to him as that example of how to be good superheroes. We don't expect you to become a superhero, you'll never fly or shoot lasers but you should always try to be that example of goodness. If you can be that paragon it inspires others to be better, you might just actually save the world. Part of that though is reaching out, and being open and honest with people. Good or Bad, you gotta be honest with people or they won't understand.
