i was a teen, and there was peer pressure at my high school ! everybody, when they are teens goes thought this kind of pressure, it's normal! today , i don't smoke or drink, in even, in high school! when i went to parties, my classmates were smoking and drinking, i never saw any drugs at parties. my classmates asked me, if i want beer or a cigarette , and i said , " no ! ", they left me alone ! this forum is open discussion for teens only ! my question for you is - can you said " no !" to smoking , drinking, or drugs even with this : peer pressure ! or, do you need to be part of a peer pressure, to drinking , smoke, or take drugs, just to fit in?

Surprisingly, I hung around with a group that never peer pressured me. They were NO angles by any means, but if I didn't want to drink, toke or anything else, they never insisted.

He wrote 'teens only'.

There was never really pressure from my friends to drink, etc, it was usually of my own choice. My friends and I have never been into anything like drugs anyway and we're all fairly encouraging of each other.

I think you'd have to be a bit weak as an individual to give into peer pressure at my age. I don't think I would have even when I was younger but that's just me.

Well, when I read it on the home page, it said 'open discussion'

Plus, he talked about when HE was a teen.

I've never really seen it as a problem.. If anything, being pressured into something makes me really stubborn and I'd rather go off and do my own thing.

Since about 8th grade, I've had friends who drank and smoke and such (not all of them, but some) and I've never been pressured into it, in fact nobody asked if I wanted even a cigarette, though I was asked by several people if I had any.

Maybe he meant open discussion for everybody, but talk about when you were a teenager (as opposed to 'adult peer pressure')

In any case...when I was a teenager, I don't remember there being much peer pressure. I was a nerd anyway. My friends pressured me to study.

Okay, not true. I started going to church because of one of them and she wasn't a nerd.

at this stage, doesn't matter the teens can learn from the old folks, as well!

I understand that.

But in the OP he said both that it was an 'open discussion' and 'for teens only'. I was just speculating on exactly what he meant.
