Decisions and the future
Social pressure
The feeling that you must act or think the way others do to be accepted.
What the Bible can tell you
Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:2
For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn't be a servant of Christ.
Galatians 1:10
My son, if sinners entice you, don't consent.
Proverbs 1:10

Group pressure can push you toward decisions that are not yours. Before deciding, ask yourself what you truly want. Having clear values gives you the firmness to say no with respect.
