Social pressure is one of the big problem we have in all countries but unfortunately many people do not see it as a problem.. We have lost many of our good youth to social pressure and many of them are into bad things because of this same issue...
As human, we have different way of reacting to things, some people also have self control and can withstand peer pressure more than others... You see those people who love to impress others are the main victim of social pressure because they live their whole life to impress others and not doing what others are doing might make them feel weak or out of trend so they can be easily manipulated or persuade to join a bad trend...
Unlike before, Drug is not something that is being done openly, i could remember during my childhood that i know some bros that when never they want to smoke, they do it in a closed area, you will never even know they smoke except you are very close with them but it is a different case now...
It has gotten so worst that even teenagers now smoke openly, they don't feel bad to do it nor do they feel remorseful because they see others doing it too so now it is even a competition of who smoke pass..
There is somewhere in my city where you can see those teenage boys sitting and smoking in the evening, they usually form a long queue that it will take like 1 minutes to walk past them and i know some familiar face then, infact one of them used to be my neighbour's son, he was a gentle boy but the friends he followed initiated him into that lifestyle... His life won't have been like that if he follow good and responsible friends but it is what it is...
I can't say i am immune to social pressure but i take precautions by staying away from people who could influence me, it is person that socialize that get affected by this... Sometimes i even wonder if i am even living in this world lol, cos i stick in my room all day except when i want to buy food, that is the major reason i go out and it is just for a short moment....
So there is no one to initiate me, pressurize me to do something i am not interested in, it is when you give them chance into your life that they can pressurize you...
Even though when i was still in secondary school, some of my friends try to pressurize me into drinking but i turn it down, you know how friends do when you seem to be the odd one among them, they laugh and make fun of you but all that don't really work on me because most time i am always the clown in a group of friends so nothing you can do that can make change my mind as am used to the mockery lol....
Even though, i drink once in a while now, it is not social pressure, it is because i feel like doing it, but one thing i never do is smoke because of the damage to the organs in our body... Health is wealth....
I love myself so much that i will never do anything to harm my body or organs... Not even social pressure can change that! because when the problem start.... All those who pressurized you into doing it will be no where to be found....
