Listen "Dealing with Peer Pressure"
Episode Synopsis
What is peer pressure and how does it affect us? Peer pressure is the influence of the social group on an individual. If you have ever felt like someone was trying to get you to do something that you didn't want to do, you have experienced peer pressure. Peer pressure is JUST THAT-pressure. Just because "everyone else" is doing it, is not a reason to do "it". In fact, lots of things people say they are doing, they really aren't. They are just bragging and trying to get others pressured into doing something. On Express Yourself!™ today, our co-hosts Caie Kelley and Rachel Glass interview four reporters with various viewpoints pertaining to peer pressure. Isaiah Rankin, reporter for Nature Calls, shares the delicacy of eating tarantulas in Cambodia, also #Hashtag and information on the social networking buzz plague, #YOLO. Bruce Lee was right when he said, "I'm not in this world to live up to your expectations and you're not in this world to live up to mine."
