Overview

"If you've ever heard someone say, ""I wouldn't have had my first sexual experience that way,"" or ""Take the first bottle of alcohol,"" or ""Take hard drugs,"" or ""Shoplift,"" and wondered if you would have done the same if it were just you, then you're not alone. We've all found ourselves in situations we wish we hadn't, simply because we got caught up in trying to please others and fell into the trap of peer pressure. The thing about traps is, they're hidden until you stumble into them. That's why young people might not realize the dangers of bad company until they've already made regrettable mistakes. Two individuals were interviewed: The first, asked how they lived such a good life, replied, ""I have a friend."" The second, recently released from prison and questioned about their downfall, responded, ""I have a friend."" It's clear: a friend can either build you up or tear you down. This whole peer influence thing isn't new. Back in the day, even the early Church Fathers dealt with it by isolating themselves as monks or hermits to avoid the negative influence. But guess what? Even that didn't always work out. Turns out, that being a hermit doesn't make you immune to it. The battle between good and evil has always existed. One person strives to do what is right, while another tries to hinder their noble intentions. It's a universal truth that we can all relate to. The pull of evil surrounds us. For young adults trying to navigate this maze, it's tougher than ever. The temptations nowadays? Stronger, sneakier, and seriously enticing. Temptation itself? It's part and parcel of life; you just can't dodge it. So, how does a newbie in the world resist or break free from bad company and that sneaky peer pressure? If that's been bugging you, guess what? This book's got your back. Inside, you'll find some killer insights to help you conquer one of life's major pitfalls."
