I think everyone falls into peer pressure at one stage or another.. Me? I would say I have. Alot of it has been positive and some have been negative.. I do regret the negative ones, but I wuldn't change them. They have made me who I am today and made me that much wiser.

I used to cave into certain peer pressure, but now I don't.
I know I'm better than that. If you don't like me for who I am, then I don't need for you to be my friend.
Although I hardly have any friends, I'm not sad. Because why would I want to be friends w/ people that aren't good?
Just because you're not my friend, does not mean it's not OK. I'll just look for a friend that really appreciates me.
I would not change because although they may think they're right, they're not.
I take life seriously and although I may be a bit mean outside, I am actually above everyone else, but people don't think so because the majority of them are that way. I'm not trying to be self-conceited, but if you think about it instead of denying your rudeness, you'd be able to tell.

I've not been the one who follows the crowd at all (hence, my choice of careers and my own life experiences -- I'm Retired Military, Female, a Long Term Single Parent to two Disabled children too -- among the things that were 'different') ... so peer pressure did not impact my life overmuch (other than to give me EXAMPLES of things NOT to follow or do!)

Both - I feel more pressured to get better grades because I'm in advanced classes and getting a C in there is actually embarrassing (although I could give a crap less.)
And, yes, I used to drink (heavily) because all my friends did.
If I could? Definately. Because all the above proved was I had a lapse of thought and for a fraction of my life, someone else held the wheel to my future.

I began smoking because of peer pressure &, after 25 yrs, I was finally able to stop (I just realized, on the 24th of Jan its been 18 yrs since I quit).
