but everyone's doing it!

so yea, peer pressure..is it really bad? i mean do u guys think that its a bad thing? i noe i do..so yea, is it really? think about it..k la, maybe it is la..implications behind it is that "u dont have a brain", "cannot think for urself?" (heard all that before?) and so on..which maybe true but is it really?

k, IF it is such a bad thing, then y does it still exist? well, i would say that its a simple answer..human beings are social creatures..we have a sense of belonging, so by following a trend or by following a certain activity u feel that u are accepted by others..which is true..well, just say there is a group of ppl who play a certain game, like rugby n u want to talk to them..but u find that its soo hard, cuz they only talk about rugby..so how? some ppl think that just cuz they dont talk to them, the d group thinks that d person is some weird guy or a useless guy..but the truth is d group dont label u as useless (well im assuming these ppl are nice ppl la, like me, jo, ben, tommy, jh, cm n other ppl who think they are nice la..:p) but they just think that they cant relate to u..(just imagine if u had someone who came to ur group of friends and couldnt fit in) so yea, wat would u do? k i noe most of u would say this JUST to prove my point wrong, that u all would go find another group, but that is not d question..d question is, wat would u do to fit into that group? would u go and learn how to play rugby? or learn d rules?

of course la the situation isnt always like that la..yea, ppl do label u as a weird person, just cuz u dont do something that is in d norm..society uses peer pressure to be able to control everyone to be "normal"..y? if there is no control/ order, then there is chaos..

k, so is peer pressure still bad? well, in my humblest opinion, it depends on d situation..well, we are intellectual creatures and also have d ability to differentiate the difference of good and bad, right and left, (well most of the time) so yea, use ur intellect..the Bible is there to guide u also..so yea, somethings should be followed like talking to urself in public is not d normal thing ppl do (well, having a conversation kinda talking to urself, not thinking out loud), but others things that dont do much help to urself and to others, like smoking n other stuff shouldnt be followed..well, if u rationalize that u should do it, then really, i cant stop u la, go ahead..just make sure u have all d facts, all d pro's and con's..from my experience, a socially inept person, i remember getting into fights (fist fights) with other ppl, just because my friends said that i should, even though i had nothing against that person..y did i do it? well, if i didnt, i wouldnt have a story to tell u all now rite? haha..(pro or not, std 4-6 already planning to blog about this)

haha..k, thats all la..i guess..a bit lengthy for me..
