"You are exactly where you want to be"
-Zach Even-Esh
If your falling into peer pressure, then its probably because you haven't set your values straight.
Whats important to you? What do you want to to do? What do you not want to do? Its all about having Standards and knowing your limits.
If your not sure then your clearly open to be bended and persuaded into trying to do something your not really sure about or haven't thought too much about. Take the time to not only know, but too also understand you Values, Standards, and Boundaries.
The other thing is confidence.
If your not confident in anything that you do or anything that you represent then you gotta start working on that aspect of your life.
Understand, begin to truly know that you can make decisions for yourself. YOU are responsible for YOUR actions. No matter what anyone tells you or makes your feel, no matter how insecure you are or afraid of the responsibility, YOU are the one in control.
If you give in to peer pressure often, then thats because you have chosen to give other people's opinions of you more importance. YOU are the one who's allowing yourself to be peer pressured.
Own yourself. Do work towards acquiring the mindset of being responsible for your own actions.
It doesn't matter if its tough, if you think its impossible, or whatever excuse you have for not making your life better. The truth is, it IS possible. You can grow and you will grow as long as you continue to surround yourself and learn how to become Stronger.
Once you have adopted the traits which make you Stronger, then guess what, you won't fall into peer pressure anymore and your life will be much more incredible.
