"Everyone's Doing It!"

A lot of people have different opinions on peer pressure. Very different opinions actually. Some may say peer pressure is caused by enemies. Some may say by people you never have even met. I believe, however, that peer pressure is caused by your friends. It may seem ridiculous but in reality, your friends are who have the biggest influence on you and your day to day lives. Just think about. They know you better than anyone. They know your weaknesses. And they know your strengths. But your the one who knows what is right for you and your life. Peer pressure can show up for many reasons. Common ones might be a friend wanting you to go to a movie that you really don't want to see or they want to go to a party that you have no desire to attend. And saying no to that party is also saying no to the peer pressure that comes along with it.
You and your friend walk into a party, they say that there isn't going to be any alcohol but you take one step into that door and realize over two thirds of the people there are drunk. Your uncomfortable but your friend asked you to go, your doing this for them. A little while later your sitting on a couch, and the guy from fourth period class comes up to you. He asks if you want something to drink. You say no. You continue to say no but for whatever reason he keeps asking you. But, you stick to what you said and you don't give in. He walks away and a while later you go home.
Although I have never gone to a party or been pressured into something like that in that type of situation, those kinds of things actually do happen. And if you say no, no one will care. If you say no to anyone, they wont care. It might take them a while to understand why you denied but overall you know you made the right decision and the only person it will effect overall is You. You never want to be pressured into doing something your not comfortable with, no matter who it is that's pressuring you.
Just say No.
