The influence others and society as a whole have on our lives is phenomenal.
Based on where you grew up, your accent can be different. Your personality can be different. Your values can be different.
The same also applies based on the different crowds and cliques you prefer to hang around.
There are groups that like to read, there are those who do not.
There are clubs that enjoy creating things, but not everyone does.
There are people that do drugs, there are people that don't.
And there are those who are self-aware in our world,
And there are those who are not.
Peer pressure is common among our world for different reasons.
In few cases, this is bad- but in most cases, they have good intentions.
A huge amount of people, even the ones you know,
would definitely peer pressure you into quitting drugs-
or at least to start to try to quit drugs.
But, let's be real...
Who in our world will peer pressure you into becoming self-aware?
Self-awareness is a journey people experience, oftentimes out of nowhere.
It begins when people wake up ask themselves: What are we doing in this vast world of ours? Are we only expected to work a 9-5 job and die?
Few take action, and even fewer genuinely help others to take action as well.
Those on top benefit themselves by staying that way. Not to say they bring other people down, but it's unlikely they would bring just anyone random else up with them.
Becoming self-aware is up to you.
So yes, they can force you to quit drugs.
But no, they cannot force you to become self-aware.
That's up to you.

Tips are not required but are very much appreciated!
Just know- it's better to be the only one who's aware than the only one who isn't.
And REMEMBER- YOU ARE AMAZING!
