Peer pressure? Have you fallen into to it?

    So, have you ever done anything because of peer pressure?

    I don't have much experience with it but, I have one instance where it has effected me.

    When I go to weddings/engagement parties, every single guy/girl smokes cigarettes! They actually think it's 'cool'. One of my nephews actually does it because of this. The rest of us find it to be incredibly stupid (no offense to cigarette smokers).

    I think it's funny that of all places, they push smoking on at weddings.

    Yeah, I've been peer pressured into naughty things. I can't say that I minded it that often.

    Nope. If I do something "bad", I do it because I feel like it, not because someone told me to/everyone else is doing it.

    To an extent, I've refused cigarettes and drugs aside from weed every opportunity I've had to try them. I drink occasionally but as a rule I only do it on holidays or special occasions. I've been kind of pressured into doing sexy stuff but it was fun so its ok. Oh yeah and gambling, fuck gambling. My sister talked me into it once and it was fun enough I guess, I just hate casino's. They're bright and busy and social and everything else I hate about the world. Plus I lost $40 on the slots >_____>

    I have before, mostly during school because I was so driven to be part of the "cool group" that I would pretty much do anything. A lot of it got me in trouble, some of it where things I never should've done and other things that weren't dangerous and yet extremely fun. Like the time we took one of the teacher's wheelie chairs. My friend sat on the chair while she grabbed my backpack strings and I ran down the hallway. We got a DT for that but it was worth it, I think.

    Pretty sure everyone does at some point. Maybe not always in the way that comes to mind (bad things), but people are influenced by other people always, even to do good things sometimes.

    Very rarely. Turned down drinks and cigs before. I am my own person.

    I have never been pressured into something I have not been thinking about doing. I guess my story to tell is when I got pressured into betting 15£ on a game, but I was sure I was going to win, and I did. So I had the urge there, it was just the added pressure which made me do it.

    Well, I tried to fit in, and I've done some things, but nothing huge.
