Foot for though - Hindsight

I thought I was immue but many events that happened proved otherwise. I was just as vulnerable as anyone else, to the infectious and virulent disease commonly known to many as "peer pressure". Certain variations of this deadly plague was termed "peer influence" but they are essentially the same, orignating from the same parent cause.

I suppose I gave in too easily to the demands and expectations of others, without sparing a thought for myself. That is one fatal mistake. Note to self: Listen and EVALUATE what peers say, not just listen and tag along. Peers are like morphine - brings you relief from great pain in some dosages but makes you addicted and unable to fend for for yourself in the long run.

I think my opinions should prevail most of the time, if not always, over those of my peers.
