Hormones+ Peer pressure. Deadly and lethal.
Some survive the tide, some don't. Speaking for myself, I was a bit of an introvert in my school days and my friends were more or less on the same wavelength as me, so I didn't have to deal with "peer pressure" all that much. Not to say that I was totally exempt from it. I remember being obsessed with miniskirts in my early teen days. My mom once got me a mid-length skirt which I used to shorten up and wear on special occasions at school or when I was out with friends. Then, while coming back, I'd return it to it's normal length. 😆
I'm presently 23, and therefore was spared the iPhone/Ipad/Laptop craze back then in my time. However, Dad bought me a 10,000 mobile phone in my second last year of high school which my mom didn't allow me to use till i got to college. She mostly kept it locked in the closet, and I pulled out every trick in the book to get it out once in a while and take it to school. Those days!
Looking back, they seem insignificant but sepia-toned.😳
