The peer pressures of Society

I have taken into account that most of my readers are into the helpful guides and society issues throughout the world. 2 top leading blogs with most reads or views is "Language Barriers on Blogs." "Walk the Walk, but can you Talk the Talk?" Which is about the usual barriers or obstacles a regular person would feel or experience in day to day life! So I decided to do a little blog about the Peer pressures of Society.

I have experienced the seriousness of this issue when I was getting ready to go to the mall with my family. I thought well of my outfit, which included a red checkered long sleeved polo, with the sleeves neatly folded above my elbow, and a pair of acid washed shorts and black flat shoes. I thought it was pretty cute considering the fact that I saw it online and thought, 'Wow, that would definitely suit me'

So I take a bath, feeling refreshed and full of confidence, I twirl around in front of my mirror and sing along to a tune as I put on my clothes and adored myself! But then the peer pressure kicks in.

"People might think my legs are big."
"They might think this style is out of time."
"My hair is too short for these clothes."
"They might think I look stupid."

So unfortunately, I remove my clothes, look at my reflection and notice every possible flaw I see in myself and just slither under my blankets.

That is the power of peer pressure, where upon influences from other people get to you and instead of them judging you, you take the privilege and thought of judging yourself based on your insecurities and flaws, not on your beauty and well-being of what you truly are. These kinds of pressure comes from several sources:

1. Expectations.
2. Disappointments.
3. Casualty.
4. Low self esteem.

These are the top factors of my pressure among the other hundreds of other factors out there. Expectations from my parents that I find hard to achieve. Disappointments in my life that I received from people who had expectations. Casualty of life that I created from bad decision making and rash thinking. Low self-esteem from my own self, considering that I myself is my own weakness and metal ball with chain.

First off, these things are natural. They occur in our lives on which we develop ourselves to take necessary actions in order to improve ourselves. But then again, they have a downside on which people who are victims of peer pressure fall into the abyss on which they no longer try, somewhat leading to depression. Most cases talk about suicide. But with a great amount of help, you can accomplish anything, as long as you set your mind on it and let nothing stop you!

How?

First off, have a bunch of friends you can purchase in your local store. Hahahaha! Just kidding. :) It's important to have people who will catch you when you fall, especially in dire times where you really need advice and confidence.

Second, Do not do everything that your friends tell you. Remember, they're just advice. Words or sentences in purpose to serve as a guide or suggestion, sometimes opinion on the necessary action you have to take whenever in pressure. Do what you think is right and proper and allow yourself to be responsible for what you are facing through. Because, what doesn't kill you makes me stronger.

Third, allow yourself to grow from these things and create a better you by sharpening your character! Gain confidence, don't allow expectations to bring you down and have a good hand of people that will support you when needed! Have fun and don't let obstacles bring you down to hell, because death is not an option. You're just beating God in his own game. Live life with your happiness and let your happiness affect other people in a positive way!

The End. :)
