Have you ever felt the pressure from your friends? To do something you so badly don't want to do?
The words Peer Pressure, makes your friends sound like enemies. Especially if you have been pressured and think of all the things you have felt you have been made to do.
This was kind of inspired from SHEEPY's topic 'First time for everything', only because I thought that most of the things
I'd done in that list were influenced. By alcohol, of course. But friends push you to drink..! So you 'want' to fit in.
Have you ever felt you've been pressured into doing something? Like smoking your first cigarette or joint, stolen something, or having sex? Or anything else. Or have you ever turned down something because you're not stupid? And then have the grief of getting laughed at by them, or not fitting in.
A lot of people have real friends who wouldn't laugh at them and would accept their choice. But I didn't hang around with the right people so wouldn't know about that! ;)
So.. interesting to know. Have you ever felt pressured into doing something you don't want to? Tell us your stories! :)

Not really affected by peer pressure. Have been offered things at times,just said no. But like "someone" said, friends don't pressure you and understand, so really I've just made friends with people who I trust and also don't partake in these illegal things...
When offered drugs always remember the following: WWSD?

In the short term, no. In the long term, yes, most definitely.

My friends once pressured me into taking Spanish lessons; el bastardos! I'm now able to converse with people from "other" countries, which makes me a weirdo and a social pariah.

I got pressured into smoking ciggarettes once, but in the end I eventually chose to do it myself, regardless of my friends opinion.
I tend to avoid falling to peer pressure on most occasions.
