peer pressure. Peer pressure represents social influences that affect us. It
can have a positive or a negative effect, depending on what path one follows.
There is direct and indirect pressure that might influence a person's decision
in using drugs. Direct pressure might be when a person is offered to try drugs.
Indirect pressure might be when a person is around people using drugs and sees
that there is nothing wrong with using drugs. Adolescents who use drugs seek
out peers who also use and, in turn, are influenced by those peers . A person
might also try drugs just to fit in a social group, even if the person had no
intentions of using drugs. Adolescents can try out different roles and observe
the reactions of their friends to their behavior and their appearance . One
might do it just to be considered "cool" by the group.

get yourself involve in this stuff, it is not really a cool thing or idea in
getting yourself in. Yes, it is true that we are greatly influenced by the
people around us, so the best thing that you can do is to choose your friends
wisely and do not let your curiosity drive you into involving in this stuff,
remember, once tasted forever wanted. And it can destroys your life completely.
