10th Meeting

1. Cite one experience wherein you have experienced negative peer pressure.

I remember when we had our family reunion in Tagaytay last 2004 I have experienced negative peer pressure.
After the said party, my uncles, almost the same age as I am, my sister, and I decided to sleep at my "tita Grandmother's house" at Antipolo City. At the time we stayed their, we have decided to go in Levis where in party people go and decided to try something to for our age. Supposed to be, we are to drink alcoholic beverages but the waiter told as that it is not allowed. But it don't stop their. We just decided to go home and buy some bottles of alcoholic drink at a convinient store. At my tita's house, we drink their.

2. How did you react to it? Why?

I join them because if I will not do it I think, for me, I will missed one exciting part of my life (heheheh) and besides, if I will not join them they will probably call me "kill joy".

3. How did you feel about your reaction/decision?

I think my decision is okey. Even though I join them in that "session" I don't allow my self to drink so much. I just drink a little of it.

4. What have you learned/realized from your experience?

Actually I even don't feel drunk that time. With that situation, I have proved to myself that I have self control and I'm not fully influenced by the people around me. I know what are those things that I have to do and those things that I should avoid.
