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! :)

In September I split up with my fiance of 3 years. We had a 1 year old puppy. I knew I definitly couldn't cope with him on my own but my fiance found it really hard to cope thinking about what he would do without the dog. His parents are looking after it now for a while until he gets sorted. Do you not have anyone that would look after the dog for you, so that you could still see him?
I know you feel bad at the moment and in that angry/sad mood where you hate her one minute, then think you have feelings for her the next and wonder whether you will be ok without her (although may be denying it to yourself). But I tell you now, you will be much happier once this is all over and you can move on with your life. I felt happy & relieved when we split up, but now, I feel even more amazing, on top of the world all the time. but at the time, I was constantly bursting into tears and feeling like I was giving up so much - everything I ever knew in fact, my partner, my dog and the flat, etc. but it was a lot easier than I thought and now I can't believe how good I feel. Something about the effort you put into a dying relationship, and the fear of what might happen if you split up, takes over and makes you irrational, making you think you have stronger feelings for the person than you do.
So if you can get through this, you will be a stronger, happier more confident person - sound good?!!

AH! So you caved in when they applied peer pressure to make you avoid peer pressure. You should have ignored them, jumped of Bright Pier and half drowned. Then when they asked you why you did it, you tell them your mate Pia told you too.
Game, set and match.

Hooray! Actually, I've been to Scotland and they were the nicest people in the world. They weren't even that ginger.
Sure, why not?

My parents always told and warned me of peer pressure so I always stayed away from it. I suppose I was slightly pressured into smoking a joint when I was only 15 but it was alright and I've tried it again a few times since.
Wasn't pressured into alcohol and very much enjoy drinking, sex I wasn't and it was a very natural process which was nice than just a quick drank lust thing at a party.
