Swimming Up Stream

Day Five:

Tell us about a time when you didn't bend to peer pressure, and you swam against the stream.

I've always been my own person. I don't typically follow trends. I am completely okay with doing things my own way, even if it isn't deemed "cool."

But I can't really think of a time when I didn't bend to peer pressure.

Maybe when my girlfriends were drinking at a party, and I didn't want to? But they didn't pressure me to drink.

Maybe when people were smoking cigarettes near me? They asked if I wanted to. I refused. But, they didn't pressure me to do it.

Maybe when some friends went to TP another friend's house, and I didn't go? Again, they didn't pressure me to do it.

I never really put myself in those situations. Especially after second grade.
