Question

all of my friends are hooking up or making out. i know i dont HAVE to, but i feel like i want to just bcus "they" r doing it. Y!?!?HELPPP!!!!!

Answer 1

BECAUSE THEY'RE DOING IT! that's why you want to hook up because they are. you answered your own question that's why we do everything we do... it's because somebody else is doing it and it seems to be working. I'm not even joking apply to anything. Eating... well people are eating and they tend to survive longer then the people that don't so therefore we eat. see.... that's the only reason you want to date is because everyone else is.

Answer 2

Well you do it so you will fit in with them. What about finding new friends where you can feel comfortable and not have to do that . It is not safe to be making out or hooking up with many people there are a lot of STD's and other things you can easily get and some do not ever go away. Think about that before feel pressure to fit in and mess around. Don't want to scare you but it is something to think about.

Answer 3

Don't. Let them get the diseases and /or unwanted pregnancies. When you're graduating from college and earning 100k per year, your friends will be earning 7 bucks an hour at McDonald's while trying to raise a kid!

Answer 4

Its peer pressure. You feel left out because they are all hooking up and you probably feel not with it. Try not to let them influence you too much; try to be your own person.

Answer 5

Don't bow down to peer pressure. You have a mind of your own. If you don't want to do something, no one can make you--stick by your guns and don't be a follower.

Answer 6

Cuz your a follower (not bein mean) if you dont want to then dont. Be who you are, do what you want to do. To each his own.
