I pretty much don't let peer pressure cause me to do anything, with one glaring exception. Everyone thought I should date this particular boy to the point that I started to think I actually liked him. Adn then after I realized it didn't, I felt like I couldn't break up with him because of all the attention we were getting. We both ended up pretty hurt and that's made me even more determined to do whatever I want to, without letting the opinions of others get in my way.
...now, "parent" pressure, that's another story.
I am a breath of insanity in a world of chaos.

I cared a lot about that sort of thing when I was younger. Being a dancer meant constantly comparing yourself to others, whether you want to or not, and that leads to peer pressure. It was something that happened in school too (a girls school is like that).
Now, I couldn't care less.

I usually give in to peer pressure when it comes to deciding things since I've a really bad habit of hesitating to every choices I have <_< but I learned the hard way that it's better to decide by myself 😐 Besides that, I don't really took much notice of peer pressure. I do what I want and like <3 and hope for the best! You can never influence me with things I don't agree with.
Nah. I just do what I do.
When I was younger I was probably influenced. I dunno I can't really remember much.

Pressure is a really tricky thing....
Although noone should feel forced to do something just because his friends urge him to, quite a few valuable experiences would be lost if you never give in to them.
Sometimes, letting go of your fears and doubts and just doing what everyone else is doing, gives you a new perspective about things. Of course only if they are harmless (and drugs never are! just for the record...)
Lately, I frequently find myself in such situations and sometimes I simply go with whatever they do for fun. It is very interesting, if only for analyzing social behaviour! 😉
To sum it up: if you seriously don't want to, then don't do it. But if you are just a little bit scared about what you would look like doing it, why not try it? It may very well tell you a lot you didn't know yet.
Still, this counts as "I do what I want" since you decided to try it because you want to. 😀
