If you can’t learn to do it well, learn to enjoy doing it badly.

Truth

Today, social interactions help us convey our thoughts and ideas through various means of advanced communication. It’s our choice that can either make impacting others a success or a negative influence. What I know to be true in society is the influence and impact of negative peer pressure. People are being pushed and forced to “follow the crowd” and are losing their own self-control and dignity. People are letting others make decisions for them, and this negative peer pressure has to stop. Peer pressure is changing the people we know around us into strangers. I need to learn to resist negative peer pressure before I do any harm to myself or to the people around me. And yeah, the truth hurts, but doing nothing about it is only going to make things worse.

Hey i think that you are righ because alot people are being pressured to do bad things like shoplift or drugs. So i do agree with you when you said it has to stop.

Hey Anthony,
I agree with you 100%. People are being put under peer presure in a negative way. Less people every day start to become dependent on other people. They start to follow crowds that are a bad influence. More people are starting to listen to people about smoking and using drugs. More and more people in the future might continue to do this and might effect their lives. -Eduardo-

Hey Anthony! Nice blog. I agree with you and what you say about negative peer pressure. It is a bad thing to do. All of us should learn to ignore them. It’s also true that you say that the truth hurts and we need to do something about it.

I agree with you all the way. People seem to have trouble with conformity these days. We’re perfectly content with imitating each other in an effort to please one another. While I myself haven’t had much trouble with peer pressure as I harbour a lot of spite towards most of the people around me, I know it’s there and pity people who can’t think for themselves.

Excellent post, it was short and to the point.

I Agree With You Because Lots Of People Just Want To Fit In and They Don’t Want To Be There Own Person Because The care to Much Of What Others Will Think And Thats Really Dumb Because If Everyone Is The Same And None Is Diffrent Life Would Be Really Boring Because When You Met Someone New They Would Be Exactly Like You!
