♡ welcome ♡ → this is a rant on peer pressure ︵︵︵ ▹ context ‧₊˚ ⇨ not really any context- (btw peer pressure is basically when you feel pressured to do something you wouldn't normally do by people around you. on scratch this might be that all your friends have the same thumb style and you have a different style so you feel pressured to change so you fit in) ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⌗ problem ‧₊˚ ✦ people can change their entire personality, beliefs, ideas, etc JUST because people they know are like that ✦ peer pressure can be direct like someone bossing you around and telling you to do stuff. it can be not direct where you notice everyone is doing the same thing except you. and it can be from YOU, this is when you feel like if you don't do something you wont be accepted ✦ this is more common irl, @sincerely-sam said this "i've felt peer pressure irl, because i feel so small compared to all the popular people that i want to become like them and it's really sad because i can't be who i really am" and @luvlock said "I've only felt it irl, people compare me a LOT to others and pressurise me which is just not my thing!" ✦ this is vv common irl especially for teenagers. ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ⌕ solution ‧₊˚ ⟡ try to just remember that being unique and different actually is better ⟡ if you just be yourself SOMEONE will like the REAL you and you can become friends- if your pretending to be someone else and hiding the TRUE YOU and someone likes the FAKE YOU then you cant be yourself ⟡ think decisions through- are you doing this because you GENUINELY want to or are you feeling pressured to do it? ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ ▹ credits ⚠ rant: @rantaway ⚠ inspo: @rantaway ⚠ interview content: @sincerely-sam @luvlock ⚠ ᵖˡᵉᵃˢᵉ ᵃˢᵏ ᵗᵒ ᵘˢᵉ ᵐʸ ᶜᵒⁿᵗᵉⁿᵗ ᵃⁿᵈ ᵈᵒⁿ'ᵗ ʰᵉᵃᵛⁱˡʸ ʳᵉᶠᵉʳᵉⁿᶜᵉ· ʳᵉᵐᵉᵐᵇᵉʳ ᵗᵒ ᶜʳᵉᵈⁱᵗ ᵐᵉ ᵃⁿᵈ ᵃˢᵏ ᶠᵒʳ ⁱⁿˢᵖᵒ ⁺ ᶜʳᵉᵈⁱᵗ ᵐᵉ ᵈⁱʳᵉᶜᵗˡʸ· ᵒᵗʰᵉʳʷⁱˢᵉ ʸᵒᵘ'ˡˡ ᵇᵉ ʳᵉᵖᵒʳᵗᵉᵈ, ᵗʸ! ⸻ ⸻ ⸻ © rantaway ♡♡
