^Ok, I already made a sarcastic remark, dude. Anything after it is just beating a dead horse.

The need for love and affirmation outweighing the need for self-respect and a sense of self worth?

Discuss ...

I give into peer pressure all the time and I'm 20. If it's not lethal, why not?

 

[Speedball]

I guess they never asked me...
I never give into peer pressure.
Tell me to do something, I'll look you in the eye, say f*** you and do the opposite.

 

[WeaponZ2]

I kicked peer pressure in the balls years ago.

That's why you should never let children have any social contact.
They're too stupid to have friends.

Anyone care to comment on why then we don't have more people speaking in public about comics rather then us gathering here to post about them?

Perhaps we may not have given in to peer pressure, but rather silently conformed to a "societal pressure?"

interesting to consider?

That's because most comic fans are greasy and smell of pimples, and they know it.

I'm not ashamed to talk about comics books with anybody, or tell anybody I enjoy them

Wow. They paid people to do a study on this?

So I've always wondered...if everyone's always telling you not to give in to peer pressure...what do you do??

 

[Canadian Rider]

give in ... and then tell others not to ..

 

[imdaly]

but, in doing what everyone is telling you to do, would you not be giving in to peer pressure??

 

[Canadian Rider]

do the opposite ... it worked for George ... Kastanza!!!

Everytime a kid turns emo or goth an African gets aids.

Look what you bastards have done...

So you should give in to peer pressure?? ...but then...you'd be giving in to peer pressure.

I say what I have said all along ... make up your own mind on everything. Each of us must choose the path we take.

I walk a lonely road... the only one that I have ever known...

You're gay, good for you. Now go celebrate gay pride day, after that you have to go back to spending the rest of the year ashamed.

Not every post has to have you saying your gay.
