Peer pressure

Post Reply New Topic

What kind of things did someone manipulate or peer pressure you to do, how did they do it, and what kind of long term implications occurred?

I got peer pressured into joining Facebook. Now I'm too addicted and couldn't live without it.

I get depressed when I don't give into peer pressure when it comes to drinking and drugs. I don't want to be drunk or high but then I feel depressed because I'm not doing what everyone else is doing.

hahaha... does masking count?

half joking, sort of. i feel like i was definitely manipulated into thinking i was "too much" or "too sensitive" or too... whatever, really, and believing that i needed to make myself smaller for the sake and comfort of the world around me. turns out that was total bs! still trying to unlearn some of that thinking.

1. When I was 20, my friends pressured me into watching pornography when I lived with them and their mom.

2. In high school, some friends peer-pressured me to make inappropriate hand gestures.

3. During my 20's some friends tried to peer pressure me into growing my hair out and wearing makeup in order to date a guy.
