Afraid of making decisions?

I have recently come across the fact that there is still constant pressure to conform despite the thousand awareness signs of bullying and "fitting in." People tend to follow it anyway. It's a way of living in high school. You HAVE to conform. Else, you're just a dweeb.

PLEASE, stop letting others make decisions for you. It's not right. If something goes wrong, you can't even blame them. There are so many workshops for peer pressure and bullying in high school. No one seems to take interest in them and realize that they are actually carrying a meaning. I have recently met an individual, a vulnerable girl going through her first relationship. Apparently, it's a "girl code" to share everything about your relationship and the input she gets from her girlfriend goes towards the decision making of her relationship. You are just "playing" a person. Don't do that, it's not right. It's not fair to the guy if he's genuine. But then again, how many people are genuine at this age? Everyone is in a rush to grow up as fast as they can. Slow down, okay? Live these moments before you realize the ten million worries of life later on.

If they were your true friends, they would not investigate you, give you advice, and once you listen to them, talk smack behind your back. It's all a quite obvious scene to us, because we have grown past it but for the people who are still fifteen years old trying to figure out the meaning of a relationship and have no clue what to do.. it's hard. Peer pressure can affect your behaviour in many ways. You are growing up and still figuring out what your personality is, do you really want your personality to be something that your friends feed into your mind? Don't be afraid of making your own decisions. Even if they end up being wrong, you will have yourself to blame. Not others, they will just brush off their hands and walk away saying, "It was your problem, not mine."
