Avoiding unnecessary peer pressure.:-- Make satisfactory choices.
Everyone regardless of what kind of person you're, you have a right of choice in choosing what you want and deserve. That mindset of being pressurize by your friends or a colleague should very discomforting because it is definitely way out of being the "You" you ought to be. The best solution I think should be by avoiding such kinds of people do you won't be of hate to yourself if you just can't meet such level and standards.
One fateful evening back in High school (secondary school) after the lesson sessions as we gathered ourselves as a clique going back home, suddenly a lady amongst us asked a question that looked like a suspicious kind of question. She said "is like someone changing environment is the only way for them to not look too local ?. I paused just at the pedestrian lane where we were walking and asked what brought about the question a knowing the kind of lady she was I could tell she was referring to someone then I had to quickly think and found out she was indirectly referring to Ahmad.
A lovely gentle friend of ours who was a new Intake, a guy that contentment is his second name.
I replied her with a question also but later answered her though, you're talking about Ahmad right? She said Yes but in a stylish and delaid manner not wanting him to her it out loud. I gave her my answer which is "No" which I then explained to her my own understanding concerning the question.
Do you think if Ahmad change environment he's going to be wearing blinks and designers brand T shirt? Or do you think he's being stingy to himself having the enough cash to buy those things but deproce himself? I don't think so, what he have is what he is wearing as far he ain't named I think Ahmad is satisfied. The location isn't the problem, the problem is see here right now is you trying to create amongst us peer pressure and influence.
You just don't go and acquire something on a normal day you can't afford, allowing peer influence from your friends to take control over you.
The location is not the problem but the people you mingle with and the way they reason. This is totally different from leaving your comfort zone so you ought not to be distracted in achieving your goal, this is different I can say.
You can't compare the influence of a location to the influence of people you relate with in that location. No location is bad but the people in that location makes it bad.
Things that were comfortable before becomes uncomfortable all of a sudden due to the kinds of people you mingle with, same goes to little kids that don't disrespect elders but all of a sudden becomes disrespectful, if checked very well it's from his or her peers influence. Location doesn't have anything to do with one's contentment attitude or behaviour.
There are still people who dress decent and project purity on all ramifications, eliminate that idea of being competitive especially for what you can't afford at that given period time out away peer pressure or influence.
Thug peer influence is one of the major issue the youth today are facing, the social media is also a factor that promote such though to those that don't have purposes anytime they go on the internet. When you have a purpose either there's a trend or not you won't be disturbed.
The friends you choose defines you one way or the other but most importantly you have always got a CHOICE to make by avoiding peer pressures.
