People are often influenced by other groups of people. They always want you to do what they want to do. Its a pressure that follows you your whole life wherever you are. An example of this is gangs. They try to persuade you into joining. It is up to you to either stand up to them or give in and accept. This is an important quality in any person because you have to be able to make your own decisions. Not just give in so easily.
However, this is not an easy task. It's hard to not want to give in to what people tell you and it is also hard to not influence other people too. You may accidentally try to push people into doing something without even knowing it. The push and pull of society is hard to resist, can you?
I personally can resist and always will. "You are the pilot of your own Destiny" i'd say. It's my decision on the things i do, sure people may persuade me to do things but the final decision is up to me..
ReplyDeleteI think probably the people who give in to peer pressure are the ones who are also going to pressure people into things. People who are really good at resisting peer pressure know what it's like to get pressured and turn away that pressure, so I'm guessing they are more aware of making sure they don't pressure other people.
