Have you ever succumbed to peer pressure? And do not even try to lie about the fact. It happens to everyone. Every last person in the world has experienced peer pressure and more than once have they caved into it. Even though we would probably tell ourselves, "I will not let it happen again, I will not let it happen again." It happens. Peer pressure is UNAVOIDABLE. The best thing to do is not even follow along with whatever your friends say. And besides that side note, the quote I chose is: "You just have to do your own thing, no matter what anyone says. It's your life." by Ethan Embry.

I believe this quote screams independence and the ability to make your own choices. So many people in the world will get in your way and tell you what you can or can not do. But ultimately one should follow the rules of one, which if you did not get the hint meant yourself. Although a lot of what I am asking for might seem rebellious, that is not really the point I am trying to make. You do not want to be so rebellious not even your own parents can control you like the little brat from Where the Wild Things Are. Now that was a very out-of-control kid. Parents should always have control over their kid, that is one of the reasons they are here on Earth anyways, was to raise us right so we could pass on the cycle to our kids.

Back to my point. We were all put here on Earth, some find a reason for being here while others never find that reason and then die. Not the point. The point is that you lived out your life. No one should ever ask or tell you how your life is because it is not any of their concern. Since the day we were all born, we received a life. That is one of the greatest gifts of life because you can go and choose whatever you want to do with it. Go ahead, you could waste away your life, in my opinion, I see nothing wrong with doing that. If it is how you choose to live your life then I am in total awe and respect that you even had the courage to choose what you are going to do with your life. Your life is your life and you and ONLY you should be the one to make decisions that affect it. Although this might seem kind of childish, I hate my friends that tell me what I can or can not do. I realize they are only trying to "look out for me" or "try to keep me safe" and I do appreciate the care a lot, trust me. But I do not want to be told how to live my life. If such friends tell me to not even act myself because it could be a threat to such trivial things as my reputation then who do you think you are? Wow that was a mouthful to say. And this was a real stream-of-consciousness passage. Well basically, those people who tell you how to live your life are not good friends. I believe anyone and everyone should have the right to go out and do anything they want if it is humane and not in harm of other human beings. And do not ever let anyone get in the way of your dreams when you could be missing out on an amazing opportunity. After all it is your life and only yours. So why should you let anyone else in the world take control of it? Do not be ashamed and go get a life. Haha corny. Like none of my passages haven't been...
