Resisting Peer Pressure!

How's everyone's weekend so far?! The weather is absolutely GORG.

I wanted to talk about more of a serious topic today. Peer pressure. You have, most likely, gotten this speech countless times throughout high school. But I am going to be real with you all, I am not going to sugarcoat this for anyone. This needs to be addressed.

I have seen countless friends of mine change throughout my two years of high school. Yes, you do find yourself in high school, you define yourself. But I am sick and tired of watching my friends walk down the bad path of life. Drugs are out there. Alcohol is out there. Sex is out there. I am not going to lie to you. But that does not mean you must adhere to them, simply because "everybody seems to be doing it". Let me tell you, they are not.

Drugs and alcohol should not be used as an outlet for negative or postive energy. If you want to drink, cool. If you want to smoke weed, have at it. I am not one to tell you what you can, and can not do. But I can't stand to sit and watch people I care about ruin their lives because of stupid mistakes. You do not have to drink on a Saturday night to have fun, and you surely do not have to smoke to make your problems go away. If anything, it only makes matters worse. You do stupid things when you under intoxication, things that you would not want to have a part in your future. It is, honestly, not worth it.

There are SO MANY other alternatives to have fun during your weekend not revolving around alcohol and drugs. I promise you.

Please, I beg of you, if you are questioning whether or not to take that shot at a party simply because everyone else is drinking... don't. It genuinely is not worth it.

Stay above the influence, stay beautiful.

I love you!
