It's about an acceptance from a group of friends. Why people do not appreciate us like who we are. They usually set some standards or build up a line for us to come cross. Should we try to be hip enough in order to get ourselves become members?

Mostly a group of teens that ome together to pressurise people in joining in have a problem with their self esteem and when they are in a group it does them better. do not be scared of weaklings for God created you to be who you are not someone's copy. Do not leave you good morals trying to fit in a group of the so-called friends. Stay focused and enjoy your life time. good luck.

It's called standing up for yourself!
My mates all smoke weed, and they respect that I don't and never have. They have a laugh and joke about it every now and again, usually if we've been drinking, saying "go on!, go on!" but they know it's not my sort of thing. They respect my wishes because they're my m8's.
When I didn't want to do something everyone else was doing at school, back in the day (ha like 10 years ago), I just used to mimic sheep noises 'n' tell 'em I don't need to be a sheep and copy everyone else.
They all come to me for advice nowadays - 2 of them have been to rehab and messed up their lives a little but friends are there to help each other through difficult times, not to pressurise us into doing things we don't want to do!
If they are your m8s then they'll respect you!

no, i used to do this and now im considerably older i wish i didnt. the 'cool' kids at school are now generally the losers or uncool adults. they spent so much time thinking about how to make others live up to their ideals or whats hip they forget about the future and hardly ever grow up. being individual is an attractive asset and following like a sheep will get you nowhere.

Peer pressure sucks. There is no way to avoid it. But, you can avoid falling for it. Showing others that you aren't interested in doing what they are doing but allowing them to do it is the best thing I can come up with.
I had fun watching my friends act ridiculous while I was straight sober.

You shouldn't fall prey to peer pressure. Always do what feels right to you. If your friends get hurt to bad. It is your life not theirs.

Be yourself! Giving in to peer-pressure is hurting no one but you! By being yourself and having your own opinions you will only gain repect! Who wrote their rule book(them!)so, write your own!
