Or, are you the natural born leader that can say no and make your own decisions?
In other words, would you jump off of a tall building just because that's what eveyone else is doing?

I'm not a natural born leader by any means but when I look at all the injustice in the world, both in history and ongoing, I realise how important it is to be strong and stand up for what is right, even if everyone else seems to be of a different opinion, even if it seems scary or impossible. If people keep quiet about evil, or pretend they don't see it or is nothing to do with them, it's extremely dangerous. There are obvious examples of this in modern history, and we should learn from these examples so that those who suffered did not do so entirely in vain. Individual actions can make a difference.

peer pressure is a serious thing and some people dont kno how to handle it some people just go with the crowd i personaly think im a true born leader cuz i start things but some of my friends are the exact opposite if my friends started doing drugs i still wouldnt and besides things change people dont do the same things forever and people get over stuff like not too long ago britney spears was idolized by millions of people now almost everyone thinks shes a freak

no, i never go with crowd. I've a backbone, and not afraid all that much of rejection, and i always stand my ground. i don't consider myself a leader, but always have been told that i am one, people naturally seem to pick up on what i do and say, and do it as well. which makes me super influential i suppose, but i havent entirely been thrilled with being copied all the time, yet lol. Besides i've the wisdom to know that just because a popular majority accepts something doesn't necessarily make it ethical or morally right. I am who i am regardless of what everybody else is doing.
but erm.... as per jumping off a building.... well, if i was bored i might............... lol♥

1. I don't go with the crowd if it seems stupid.
2. In some situations yes, I can lead people.
3. Would not jump from the tall building no matter what.

That's a loaded question. I don't follow people when they jump off of buildings, but I'm not a leader either. I'll tell people I love when they're being stupid, but other than that, everybody makes whatever decisions they want, so long as it doesn't affect me.

No. Never. Many years ago I fought alone, in my fraternity, to maintain "brother" status of two Jewish pledge members (one of whom was my best friend) when they were blackballed out of the group for no other reason than prejudice against non-Christians. I was livid with anger over this. As Fraternity VP at the time, I threatened to quit immediately unless the blackball was rescinded, and I walked out of the meeting. The blackball was, I was later informed, thrown out and I almost quit anyway, shocked that my Frat brothers sat on their hands when they could've stood up and been "counted".
NEVER be swayed others if you have the "courage to conviction", a phrase once passed onto me in High School. Always value yourself first, and then worry about popularity.
As singer Janis Joplin once remarked, "hey, YOU are all you've got!"

If six million people say a stupid thing
it is still a stupid thing.
There is no guarantee that the "public"' view is smart or corrdect. Make up your own mind. Always. If then you decide to go along with others, it's your choice.
Another term for popular can be lowest common denominator.

I did when I was a little kid, but now that I am older and wiser, I do not go along with the crowd at all, almost to the point that I am a loner. Trial and error taught me the right way.

Never in my life have I caved to peer pressure. I'm not really a leader, either, I just have always done my own thing.
I never picked up a cigarette, either, because I never saw the value in it. I don't follow fads or trends either. If I like something, I'll buy it because I like it, not because everyone is wearing it.
I'm not a sheep.
