It is difficult to not care about how others think of us because no one wants to be made fun of or think that someone hates them and it is human nature to care about these things. You always care what people think even if it is not a person you know very well because you might think that they could go tell someone that you do care about. I think that it is human nature to think this way because if we didn’t care how others felt about us than people would just go around doing whatever they want without worrying about what other people think. We do control the way other people think about us all the time and some people take it to the extreme. People are often doing things they might not like to do or do something they know is stupid because they want to look cool or fit in. This is what pier pressure is. One of the most extreme cases that happen quite often is drugs. People might try some drugs because they want to look cool to their friends and they end up ruining their life. People might try and change how they behave and say they like things they really don’t to try to impress their girlfriend or one of their best friends. I new someone who loved to ride his bike and was captain of the bike team at his school but when he got a girlfriend he just stopped riding his bike and said he did not like it any more. I think that this tendency that humans have to try and fit in can be a good thing and a bad thing. I think we should try to fit in and worry about what other people think but not if it mean changing things we like or making a bad decision.
