We often say these words :
"I don't care what people think of me , I'll do what I want & when I want"
"Who cares what they say"
"What matters is what I think of myself , not what others think of me"
& the list goes on of things we say that state that we do not care about what others think , but maybe , just maybe , what we are doing & what we are being judged for is really a negative thing to them & what if it really does get to us & we in the end , crumble to these things ? We start to change ourselves for THEM .
As human beings we tend to say lots of stuff to let people know that we do what we do & it doesn't matter what the public eye says about us , but honestly deep down we want them to stop & start , oh I don't know , accept us ?
How far do we go to be 'accepted' ?
There will always be peer pressure no matter where we go . There will always be expectations of us by family & friends .
What comes to mind when you see the word , 'PEER PRESSURE' ?
Probably alcohol , sex , drugs & etc .
We don't think of the consequences , we don't really care about them (at first) , we just want to be accepted as an equal by our peers .
So in result we start doing things , we have never had the intention to .
Sometimes the things we do when we crumble to peer pressure , will hurt the people who love us .
So is it really worth it ? To please those who may not stay forever ?
Sorry for such a heavy post but I do hope you , who are now reading this , think about things because I have , a lot lately actually .
Till then ,
