Alright, peer pressure may not be a world issue, it may not be on the news everyday.. or isn't it? All those stupid car crashes that we see, all those bloody abortions. There's a pretty big chance, without even turning to Google, that they were caused by peer pressure.
I'm posting this mainly because I have a strange interest in how peer pressure works. Mainly though, it's not the direct kind of peer pressure. Not that kind of 'Hey, have some dope. It's good for ya.' peer pressure. My interest is in the more subtle brother of.. yeh, peer pressure. The way people have their own groups at school, work, the moon, whatever. And one that's mainly seen in schools, how students rank each other, depending on how they look, how tough they look, how much gel they chuck in their hair. I don't like it.
And yes, I know there are benefits to this mostly adolescent thing that grows in your brain, controlling your actions and obscuring logic. Personally, I would never know half the things I do if there was no such thing as the subconcious controller in your head.(Running out of names for peer pressure.)
Ok, this may not be peer pressure, I don't know. But besides mistakes in grammar and punctuation, why do we backspace our words? Because it doesn't look right? I confess to myself right now, I backspace because i'm ashamed, afraid of what will be thought of my thread when I submit it. But i'll worry about that when.. I want to, not when the invisible tentacle inside my head grabs my brain, distorts it and deletes these paragraphs because I feel stupid.
