“Smoke the joint or I’ll kill you!” This is what we think peer pressure is, yeah right. Far from it!
Allow me to use my one paged article to explain to you my esteemed viewers, I mean readers exactly what peer pressure REALLY IS …..

Now I’m not exactly the Oxford Dictionary but I’m sure that peer pressure means: accepting the influence of others in the decisions we take in order to be accepted into our social groups. Big words.
What you should take to mind is that none of the people “pressuring” you are in fact doing so. You pressure yourself into thinking and doing like the folks around you. This gets the person reading this article wondering, why? Duh! We do it to fit in. After all it’s always best to roll with the crew. And in order to part of the crew, sometimes we over exaggerate things and we end up doing what we wouldn’t normally do just because,”All me friends are doing it too …” Blah! Blah! Blah! It’s a load of hogwash and we know it.

Let’s take for example, remember it’s just an example doesn’t matter how hectic it may seem. For example: Sammy… no good… robs banks for fun (somehow). You end up being friends, buddies, chomies, whatever, with the dude. (By some coincidence)
Then, I don’t know, one morning in June he asks you to rob FNB in Karibib (Don look 4 it, I don’t know if it exists) Would you against your better judgment knowing you could end up spending half a lifetime locked behind bars, follow the dude, down the road of the forsaken (another big word) or would you follow your intuition and do what’s right by walking away, even though you’re trying to fit in with Sammy’s crowd? I doubt it, unless you are ……… !(explicit content)

What I’m trying to make you see, assuming that you actually read this, is that in life we face certain situations that require us to choose between what is right and what we think is right to fit in. To overcome this you just got to remember that you are who are and nothing on this planet can change, unless you let it.
Set objectives and outline how you want to achieve these, avoiding everything and anyone that could possibly derail your ambitions.
I leave you with a coupla wise sounding words:
