Life's got you in a vice grip – you're feeling some serious pressure.
Based on your responses, you might be feeling pressure from those around you. You're probably feeling pressure to fit in or go along with the crowd – and you're not alone. It's a difficult time, so prepare yourself for those situations before they happen. Try to think about what you might say to your friends if they asked you to do something you weren't cool with. The more you know about who you are and what you believe in, the easier it will be to just be yourself – and to be comfortable with that.
