The art of peer pressure

Has there ever been anything that you done that was either awful or hysterical, that you were peer pressured into doing?


I didnt get peer pressure into anyhting i can think of but, i pressured a few basketball team friends of mine to set off a chemical bomb as a senior prank. It was harmless since the chem. reaction would just produce a sound as loud as a gun shot, even thoguh it emits gas we ventilated it.

the result of our prank caused us to not be able to walk on stage during graduation though.

Never! I never let anyone pressure me into doing anything

Actually... Would anyone mind posting a bit more of their experiences here? I am writing a research paper, and it would be nice to get some information such as: Why you were peer pressured, what made you go along with it etc...

Got peer pressured into buying a $1,000 car amplifier... I didn't have the money, but the seller was like 'Don't worry, you can put it on layby' And I didn't want it cause of how expensive it was, and he kept convincing me by mentioning it's power output, how it's a limited edition, it'll be one of the only ones in the state (one of two, if the other hasn't been moved to the mainland already)
I mean, it doesn't really count, but still. I didn't want to spend anymore money, and he convinced me into buying it >.> He's good at it, too.

Other than that, I can't think of any examples.

I don't give in to peer pressure unless it's something trivial like getting a facebook page. That's how I got mine, actually. My then best friend had one and didn't contact me through any other means. :/ She was an awful human being.

I don't recall ever giving into peer pressure.

Back in high school there was some things. I try not to let anyone peer pressure me into anything anymore though.

I can give u a few of others experiences because i kno plenty of people who only choose to conform to society.

1. I paid my cousin a visit a few days ago to borrow his basketball, his 20 year old brother was in his room writhing in pain... i asked him what was wrong he said that he'd taken a 3 pills i think it was called Seraphyll, he said his friend gave them to him and its supposed to "put you on." I gave him 2 bottles of water told him to drink them, lectured him on not to take things from other because his dumbass can end up overdosing and told him if he feels bad later go to the hospital.

2. I realized a time i actually did get peer pressured into something. Throughout highschool i hung out with a bad crowd you'd consider 'cool' and everyday before school everybody chipped in and sparked up. I was the only one in the group who didnt smoke or drink though. few years later after i've already graduated and in college a few friends of mine got ahold of some amazing girls. everyone was smoking and drinking and they offered it to me. I rejected the offer but after some egging on, i tried both. Nowadays i dont smoke at all since its illegal but i do drink when i have free time or im with the homies.

Got pressured into taking ambien after a full night of drinking. Before they kicked in, a few friends and I, decided to go to dennys. About the time the waiter came to our table is all I remember. The next day I woke up in bed with two women, all of us naked. End up getting the story later from one of them. I ended up ordering about $80 worth of food to myself, ate it all btw, threw up on the table, and on the way to the bathroom. Attempted to run out, fell, and got nasty road rash on my whole left arm. Knocked my head on the concrete, and threw up on myself. The two women, who both have boyfriends, took me back to my apt. Its right down the street from the dennys, and cleaned me up. Then they pretty much raped me since I had passed out at that point. And one of them had herpies, thank god I didn't get it, or anything else. Long storey short, that's the day I stopped drinking. Worse has happened, if you really want to know.

If you don't drink you are a loser (health problems are the only reason not to). If you do drugs it's because you are super cool badass who doesn't afraid of anythings!

[color=#9D0A0A]I used to fall on pressure alot back in elementary but now nobody can pull that shit on me.[/color]

I nipped that peer pressure shit in the butt back in high school.
Was way too nice for my own good and that always got me in bad situations.

Now the worst pressure I get is people wanting to hang with me.

ive pretty much resisted peer pressure in HS but the one time i didnt it lead me to ask a friend of mine to prom who said yes(i was nervous when i asked and i didnt expect her to say yes)due to i had some bros say just ask her

Thanks for sharing guys. I was able write a decent paper with this.

Peer Pressure got me to make a fool out of myself in front of many girls many times.

I don't give in to peer pressure now a days, but I used to have a friend in high school, actually she was my best friend at the time, I adored her, we did everything together.. then at one point, she started pressuring me to skip class with her to hang out in the bathrooms and stuff because "She never felt good" or "was too upset to go to class, and could only hang out with me to feel better" now as much as I felt happy to know she needed/wanted me to help her.. it fucked up my schooling, and my grades went downhill. I let her pressure me into so much, skipping work to visit her hometown on the weekends and such. Then we stopped being friends, because she screwed me over so much.

:/ since then, I have NEVER let anyone pressure me into anything.. all my past mistakes and decisions have been consciously made by me, so that even if I screw up, at least I know it was MY fault, and it wasn't because I let someone force me into something.

Back in the day i gave into it very easily.

Nowadays, it's impossible for me to. Only if it's something trivial and minor.

Honestly, I don't like drinking. I only started drinking because in highschool I got pressured Into doing it. Until now I only drink when I'm pressured enough. I tried resisting once but I kinda felt bad. Not that much though since I wasnt really with "friends" I can't imagine myself turning alcohol down with friends though.
