I actually disagree that meth is unarguably bad. It can have dangerous consequences, certainly, including addiction - however, I think that since it primariy affects the individual in question, and not other people negatively, it's not necessarily a bad thing for oneself. There's very little that you can't argue over in the world :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meth is disgusting. That is what it does to you. :-X

 

 

 

(mods, if you feel that it is inappropriate go ahead an remove it)

 

 

 

Alright, that's your judgement call.

 

I've chosen not to do meth, myself.

 

 

 

However, I still maintain that you should judge for yourself (which includes seeing what your friends do, admittedly!) and not judge other people's actions unnecessarily, if they're happy with it. And that doing meth is not unarguably bad.

I jumped off a bridge because of peer pressure.

 

 

 

Lol? If your not lying that is a true classic. :wink:

Yea 80 feet high bridge, kid died jumping off the same bridge. Me=dumbass.

I give a pardon to all early teenagers/middle schoolers that give in so easily to peer pressure (I certainly did).

 

 

 

On the other hand I think that if you're still giving in pretty easily around 16-18 then theirs something wrong. Around this time I believe people start becoming more independent and have established their induviduality.

Sometimes but not often. If theres something I wanna do i'll do it regardless of peer pressure. On the other side if people were pressuring me into doing something i really didnt want to then there's no chance.

For me, it depends on what kind of pressure it is. :P

Yeah, pretty much. I really do sort of follow the philosophy that if a lot of other people are doing it, and enjoying it... it probably isn't so bad. Especially if they're people I respect (like my friends) :D

I don't give in to peer pressure because I have no peers.

 

 

 

I'm in a class all my own.

 

 

 

(Damn it, there's no smiley face vicious enough to emphasize my point properly.)

Yea, it looks like you haven't got any friends now. :P

I follow the philosophy that if something is popular I don't want to do it. I don't want to be like everyone else.

Lots of people do meth, and they enjoy it.

 

 

 

Meth is unarguabley bad. :P

Still have to lean towards unarguably bad. :lol:

 

 

 

I know a lot of people who do Meth, or have done it...Minnesota is one of the worst Meth areas, and I live in one of the worst Meth areas in Minnesota, sooo...Yea, I see it quite a bit. My uncle has done it for years...His teeth are all but gone...What he DOES have left are rotting and falling out...All his "friends" have the same thing going on...They look old as hell, too. One of my friends in school used to be all smart, good with the ladies, you know...Now he's this skinny creepy looking guy and he's just...Dumb. Talking to him is like talking to a 12 year old...Same with my uncle, who is 34. They just seem to have the intellect of a child when you talk to them. Also know a kid that was 300 pounds and now he's like 130 and his skin is all saggy...Looks creepy...I guess the "meth diet" is "good" for you, though, so maybe you've got me this time, batman! O:)

The friends I have who ... "do" weed are actually the least likely of my friends to attempt to force someone to do something by peer pressure. I can't say that I've ever been pressurised by my peers to do anything I don't want to do (at least, nothing more serious than, say, taking the rubbish out).

I like to imagine that I don't give in to peer pressure. I don't do the 'bad' vices that are brought up straight away when most people consider peer pressure (drugs, etc.)

 

 

 

I also try to be a bit weird, and this excuses me from much peer pressure, since people know that I'm weird and will do my own random thing.

 

 

 

However, I'm still influenced by the opinions, actions and recommendations of others, as well as general trends in society and advertising. Whether this is peer pressure or not, I'm not sure.

my "peers" made me do... inapropriate stuff.... in the lunch room.

 

You don't want to know.

I'm the essence of peer pressure sometimes :P I seem to be able to talk people into doing things they normally wouldn't do \

Nah, i don't. School's really frustrating, mostly because of all the people who like to gossip and backstab, and give you a bad time. But honestly could care less now. I used to be all self concious cause of some stoopid kids, but now i relize i shouldn't even care about other's problems. Boy, life is wonderful now. And when i get really pressured and stuff, i just calm down, talk to God, and i'm good. He's all I need.

So, what does god say to you in your conversations?

Well, when i get really frustrated and overwhelmed he tells me to calm and just gets be back on the track.

 

 

 

If it weren't for him, i'd still be a massive hormornol hurricane like i was last year...ugh.

Oh dear... :|

It's kind of impossible not to, I mean we are all influenced by what is around us, just to different lengths. Personally I've never really been affected by peer pressure...I wear what I want, say what I want. While I'd like to fit in with others, which I generally do, I'd rather not bother if it means editing my personality. :thumbsup:

Yea, it's really not fair sometimes, I mean, why should a Gemini get a switch personality button instead of me... :(

Nope, never. In fact I have a natural inclination to bluntly say no to anything peer pressured. That's not to say i'm a clean living bore though, if there's something I want to do then i will do it, regardless of what other people say, but i've sat in smokey rooms with everyone but me smoking cannabis, and refused several times.

 

 

 

If I don't want to do something, nothing will make me do it, especially not peer pressure. I'm a fairly healthy guy and would always say no to drugs, i wouldn't make my friends stop though, it's their life, but they don't have to drag me into it through peer pressure.

 

 

 

So the short answer is no, peer pressure has no influence over me whatsoever.

Of course, live's not worth living if you don't have fun.

Yeah because i've heard lung cancer's a blast...

 

 

 

Not saying you were talking about smoking, but to all those who tell me life's too short so it's okay to take drugs, why make it shorter eh?

I try to be as I want to be, not as someone else wants... what if i like to mix differents music styles or wear jeans with t-shirts instead of skirts? :-k As long as I don't hurt anyone, I don't care if any of my friends has differents opinions, as long they dont want me to do the same -.-
