Imagine, your friends force you to do something that you feel is completely wrong.The pressure over you is very huge.Do the thing or lose your friends?What would you choose?

Okay two things come to mind right away..#1 a TRUE friend would NEVER do that in the first place and #2 LOL I'm NOT someone who can be pushed around or bullied like that ...soo to answer your question..NO...Just like I would never ever try and con a friend into doing something they werent comfortable with. Its just not how I live my life.

And both these things are right. Good friends wouldn't ask that.Intelligent person wouldn't do it.

You know, at one time there is a chance that I might have. Not really that big of a chance, but I would be a fool to think that there would not be a chance at all that I would not cave into the pressure. At one time, there can be pressures that I could cave into slightly, depending on how much I cared on fighting it and there were times where I might have done it.
You know, these days, I would choose my convictions over my "friends". Yes, I put friends in quotations, because a true friend would not force me to do something that was not in my best interests. Therefore, if they pressure me enough, I might think that it might not be in my best interests to interact with them. Granted, most of the people I do hang out with are really smart enough to know when to back off but there are a couple that are not.

I always think that if the friend is true he will never force us to do anything which is not good. But still we may come across with such situations where a friend can ask us to do wrong thing. I will never do any wrong thing if my friend force until and unless he is in a big problem and the wrong thing will save his life. If I want to do any wrong thing also I will not be able to do because my conscience will not allow me to do so.

Never I will not do something which my ethics forbids me. I believe that if you have a good friends they will never force you to do something wrong, unethical. So no question of pressure. Whatever the pressure may be on me I must not do anything as I said my ethics forbids me to do.
