Shooting an Elephant Writing Workshop

Many a time have I been in a situation that went against my beliefs. Peer pressure plays a huge role in society this day in age. People want you to be like them, or they don't want you with them at all. Sometimes that conflicts with what you believe in. I had friends who got themselves into situations that were a little less than appropriate for someone our age. On occurrence, there was a time when everyone was choosing to do something, and, because I couldn't get myself out of there, I was forced to take part in something that I didn't want to do. Sure, it was something silly, but nontheless. I didn't want to do it and I had to.
