Answer:

I experienced peer pressure when someone was encouraging another person to drink and they kept saying no, but the person kept insisting that they take a "little sip" or it and that it will not hurt them and they will be fine, but they were also saying how fun it is and how often they do it

Answer: I was told i should smoke a cigaratte, keep in mind im 13! So it is illegal, they kept saying "come onnn its just one! its not gonna hurt you! if you get addicted you can quit anytime you want to!" They wouldnt stop. it was starting to get on my nerves considering i kept saying " No thanks. Im not really interested. I'll get in trouble!" I realised they werent getting it. I decided i had to be aggresive, i have anger issues so i try my best to stay away from people who aggrivate me or just try my best to stay as nice as possible. I dont like being aggresive because it usually ends up being physical. I finnally told them "NO I SAID NO! DUDE I DONT WANT YOUR (fword) CIG! IF YOU DONT STOP BUGGING ME YOURE NOT GONNA LIKE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT! They responded, "dude its just one, besides i know you wont hurt me." they came back to school with a black eye and broken nose
