Peer Pressure

[Massacre]

Say this for example.

You come home under the influence of drugs. In the morning your parents ask you why you took them. Here's the possible answers you give.

1) I was pressured into it by my friends.
2) Yeah I wanted to take it, it was amazing. Dad you should really try it!!

Exactly, people say it was peer pressure as a easy way out of a situation.

Does it exist?

I was talking to a friend the other day, and he happened to go to a party and got drunk. I asked him why he would do that (im straight edge) and he said peer pressure made him do it.

Well, i have been offered weed, cigarettes, alcohol, and turned it down every single time.

So my question is, does it exist?

Dude, go ahead and turn down the alcohol and ciggs, just NOT THE FUCKING WEED!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

I don't want to be a douche like some users on this forum.

Peer Pressure is for the weak minded. You most likely are not weak minded if you are able to decline the substances like you have

I think peer pressure, is basically your wants,gullibility, and persuation all put into one. You want something so bad, for example, to be popular, so you obviously are easily tricked into "getting popularity", and to be easily tricked, you need to be persuaded.

peer-pressure does exist to some extent but you need to be smart enough to turn something down like that

 

[hybanks2000]

i don't think peer pressure is real i think it is everbody's choice. i only took weed when offered it once and that's a long stupid story. the last time i was offered a cig i said no

actually now that iv wrote all that im having a change of heart because the only reason i said no to the cig is because theres was another person there who i didn't want to see me smoke so is that another form of peer pressure

Peer pressure exists when one actually has peers.

It also only works when one has a weak mind.

This is an English/UK dominated forum. While I may understand this, most of the other people can't.

And just wondering, what's "branlette"?

It does excist.

 

[xxthebeastxx]

How can it not? That's like saying "Does persuasion exist?"..
All peer pressure is is, "Hey smoke this or you aren't cool".
Lol.

 

[Benwise]

No, it doesnt exist. They are not pressuring you, your pressuring yourself. I honestly think that if you give in, your thinking if i dont do this, ill be a faggot. So just dont do it, Seriously.

 

[john dean]

Kinda.
It's more of doing stupid shit like telling random strangers they eat pussy, i have drank before but i'm never ever gonna try drugs or any of that shit.

 

[Alex k]

Yes, but it's not like it seems like what they tell you. Your friends never really force you to do it, they just give you the option.

 

[Ballin Boi]

Exists for different people, but some people can overcome it.

Thats how I see it.

 

[Mani ♥]

Im 15 and I smoked in the age of 12...
It does exist.

 

[waltrulz]

yes it does, theres no real proof, but if all your friends were drinking and you were in the same room you would most likely be drinking as well. but your a SE, let loose, do what ever, NEVER REGRET!!!

 

[Jenny Jil]

It exists because people want to be accepted, No matter what they tell you. Everyone wants to belong.

Some people are just better at making good choices than others.

peer pressure is a load of bull crap... you have a choice.. you dont have to have friends.. you have a choice of who your friends are you dont need to be popular ... just b/c the people like you b/c you did something that doesnt mean they're your friends... so yeah.. peer pressure doesnt make you do anything i would know.. i dont drink.. i don't smoke... i don't do drugs.... i don't use tobacco products... i'm all clean
