Peer Pressure...I hate it. Sometimes it really surprises me the things kids will do because they feel peer pressure to do so. I can't believe the things kids will do to feel accepted. Every year there seems to be something new going around that kids are challenging each other to do. The latest one was the cinnamon challenge...basically it was a challenge to eat a spoonful of cinnamon with no liquid. (I guess they forgot that cinnamon is a tree).
I have told my boys over and over since they were little to not be followers of the crowd...and to not be influenced by peer pressure. I want them to be leaders, and to know when something is just plain STUPID.
I chose to post the
Mythbusters YouTube video, but I could have posted all kinds of videos that showed how devastating it is.
Be a leader, not a follower...some things are just not funny or cool to try--they're just stupid.
