Dealing with Peer Pressure

 

            Peer pressure is something that everyone has to face at one point and it can change your perspective on someone or something. From the time you are young, you are influenced by people or things. Peer pressure mostly occurs for middle school and high school age teenagers. Growing up, your parents always told you that you should not smoke, do drugs or drink alcohol. Many teenagers rebel against that and they do it anyways. Maria was about 15 years old when this occurred. It was a half day, so school was dismissed at 11:45 AM. Finally the bell rang and Maria's face was full of excitement because she knew she was going to hang out with a couple of her friends. Hearing the bell ring, she quickly pushed through the hallways to get to lobby and go outside. She had to meet her friends outside at exactly 11:45 because the security guards do not like it when people are outside and crowding the entrance of the school, so she wouldn't of been able to wait outside for a long period of time. .
             Maria was outside the school, and she was waiting for her friends. She didn't see any sight of them. She started to get worried because she was excited to meet with them and she didn't want to believe the thought of them ditching her or leaving her behind, since they have been talking about their plans for a month or so. The entrance of the school started to get crowded with more people, and now it was extremely difficult to find her friends. She wanted to call them or text them, but her phone had died in class since she forgot to charge her phone the night before. Now, Maria started to panic. Security guards now started to tell her to get of the property and not be in the schools vicinity. .
             She started to walk more and saw her friends walking at a distance. She was in complete shock. She started to catch up with her friends. She tapped on the her friend Jenny's shoulder and the look on Jenny's face was priceless.
