It takes character to choose what one wants to do with one's life and get on with it without succumbing to such pressure. If I am willing to live and let live, I expect my peers to let me live my way too. So, if I am over weight, I am not going to sleep over it because of peer pressure, but because of medical advise, I will try and reduce the weight.Rummuserhttp://www.rummuser.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-22783028269744422212011-12-02T21:10:32.376-08:002011-12-02T21:10:32.376-08:00I think there is a lot of peer pressure in 50+ wom...I think there is a lot of peer pressure in 50+ women. I see lots and lots of it and these women also make comments to me as to why I basically don't do the things they do, if you know what I mean. In many ways, these women remind me of the teenagers they used to be. They are just older, but still influenced by the obsession to constantly look younger, skinnier, the best dressed, the best makeup, most stylish hair, etc, etc. I think of all their efforts and wonder if their time could be put to better use. That's my rant....Nenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13847303868378288229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-48043452238836279772011-12-02T14:17:18.412-08:002011-12-02T14:17:18.412-08:00There is no peer pressure.

Kids who aren't taught any "right or wrong" principles don't know where they should stand when the pressure comes. But being raised with a high set of standards helped me to know which things I should avoid.Delirioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564398770468606675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27352415.post-88159414311426919192011-12-02T09:37:31.105-08:002011-12-02T09:37:31.105-08:00Is there peer pressure for 50 year old women?
