How do you deal with peer pressure?

Answer by  wkboardchick (18)

As Dr.Seuss once said, "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." I hate the idea of conformity, and I feel that if people don't accept me for the way I am, that's their problem, not mine.

Keep things in perspective. Always be aware of your values and what is important to you, and other people's opinions will mean less.

Decide if they are people whose opinions you care about. If not then ignore them and go your own way. If you must, explain your objections, reversing the pressure.
