Were you a victim of negative peer pressure?

Billo Rani 😛😉

I did do some things because everyone else was doing it. Skip class, smoke cigarettes and weed. But I wouldn't call it peer pressure. Part of it was me being curious.

On the other hand I always knew where to draw the line. I didn't date, lose virginity, get piss drunk, get stoned out my mind etc, simply because everyone else was doing it. I knew when not to skip class, when not to party. And none of my friends ever forced me to do something I really didn't want to.

There wasnt any peer out there who could put me in pressure. There are many who were smarter than me, looked great, famous with teachers, among girls however they did not have one quality which I had. lol. I never cared and therefore no pressure.

My problem is that I dont want to attain something by copying, cheating, emulating others. I dont want it. Bad or worst, I drive myself. This is the reason that even today if I see someone doing better than I dont feel negative about it. Once we take out that from mind then I think we can get rid of things like negative peer pressure, complexity, insecurities etc.
