In a short video highlighting the dangers of drug abuse, a boy says to his friend, “I feel bad about smoking pot. But I’ll feel less bad if you do it with me.”
That line embodies an important source of peer pressure: we think we’ll feel better about doing wrong if someone else is doing it, too. Peer pressure is often applied by a person who is wrestling with his own conscience. The classmate pushing you to try drugs (including alcohol and tobacco), the co-worker trying to get you to lie or…
As I scroll through social media, I am constantly seeing discussions and people questioning whether or not we should wear a mask due to the coronavirus.

Life is full of choices to make. There are things that everyone must choose to do or not to do, places to decide to go or not to go, people to become friends with or to ignore.
