Consider some of the social pressures that you think may shape your behavior and personal image. List the images most commonly associated with the categories or ‘boxes’ you have already listed in Activity 1.
How have you responded to social pressures to conform by adopting an appearance that relates to the categories that you feel you have placed in or have chosen?
I think over time I've gotten past social pressures a ton easier and I've been able to stand up for myself and be confident. A lot of the social pressures deal with popularity and being "in". A lot of the kids around me cuss, drink, and take illegal substances. People think that if you want to be cool you need to do some of that stuff. I've just been able to surround myself with good people who don't do that or be myself. Being shaped to the person I am, I've been surrounded by people who have the same beliefs or morals and me. So it makes living easier and not getting tempted into bad stuff.
