Peer pressures

We, human, are social beings,

so make groups, & communities, 

since the time, we are child,

it's injected, in every opportunity. 


Outside families, we make friends, 

classmates, colleague, or relatives  

having direct or indirect influences, 

impact our lives, affect our views. 


We connect, in common grounds,

our age, interests, work or status,

putting pressure, through peer groups,

to conform behaviors, change values. 


For, we crave their acceptance, 

while worrying, of being ostracized, 

there's also feelings of admiration,

that fuel our desire of validation. 


And these thoughts have impacts,

on our choices, and taken paths,

which are beneficial or detrimental, 

depending on the groups we follow. 


Then again, it's not permanent,

feelings changes with environment,

if we don't have inherent passions,

our perspectives & values sways...

With time & place!
