Peer Pressure and Regrets

This blog is going to get a little personal, but I feel it needs to be said. Nowadays, we take drugs, bullying, and other things as common. It's not something we should do at all. A couple days ago a girl at school got in trouble for having drugs at her house and stealing money. Now, before you say anything, she wasn't the type you would expect to do that stuff. She's nice and keeps to herself. She does have a "friend" that does the same thing. The friend started it first and led her into it. Girl #1 has been bullied forever and her "friend" still pushes her around. Girl #2 gets mad at her all the time because she doesn't do the things she does and I feel bad for her. It's like she rules her life. It's not right at all. That's called peer pressure.
I know people say not to have any regrets, but some of those things leave you with a label or even worse, it could corrupt your life right then and there. I always say, "You should be proud of everything that you do. If your not, then you might need to stop doing it." It's hard to accept, but try imagining other people doing it or knowing that you do it. Be you, but a good you. I'm not trying to judge, but to remind you that what you do now affects the future... :) Comment your thoughts! -Katie
