  • How do you react to peer pressure?

    I'm usually an invidual thinker, but I admit peer pressure gets the best of me sometimes.

    I am rarely, but it can get to me at times.

      I'm never influenced by peer pressure. Largely because I never had any (well, much).

          Pressure in any form will make me very hostile and inaccessible towards the offending party. So I react to it but in the opposite way.

            almost never...i can't even think of a time when it has...if I'm against something, i don't do it. If I'm for something, I'll do it. And I stick up for others when they're being wronged, even if it goes against the majority.

              I react violently towards Peer Pressure, hence the many times I've sat in Detention, which I didn't mind, I got all my work done... to the point where the director gave me some nifty books to read.
              I drink to one other, and may that other be he, to drink to another, and may that other be me!

                I had a drink of alcohol once because of peer pressure (I don't drink, think it is a bad idea)

                  I got in fights, drank, smoke pot, and a few other things I better not post here

                  Getting in fights is the hard one to avoid for me. Esp. as a kid. When I'm one of 2 kids getting in each other's face, it's hard not to get in a fight when all the other kids are cheering you on. Actually some have had good effects. I never really had a problem with bullies after I won my first fight. I would have never taken the first punch if I didn't have people egging me on.

                    Mostly peer pressure just reinforces whatever I'm currently doing. Sort of a "You think I should change because you say so? Well, **** you and die" kinda deal. Or (when peer pressure is trying to get me to do something that I'm already doing) a "You approve of what I'm doing? Well, I'm very happy for you" kinda deal.

                      I'm quite happy I resisted drinking till I felt like it, and smoking... well, I'm never going to smoke so let's just leave it at that.

                        I am rarely influenced by peer pressure.

                        i suffer from social anxiety, so i don't get into many suitations where i am influenced. sometimes though, my small group forces me to do things i dont want to (ski trips, etc). does that count?

                          I got rid of my peers.

                            Usually on small issues, such as, "This is a great game! You should play it!"

                            On bigger issues, such as "marijuana sure is niiiiice" I usually shy away.

                              I am rarely influenced by peer pressure. When that happens, it's in a negative manner, a la loinburger.
