" Do you ever drink alcohol or use drugs? A new study just came out saying that alcohol and marijuana use among 9th through 12th graders is on the rise. One teen told Time that she tried pot and drank alcohol because it was easy to get since a lot of people did it in her high school. Do you think that&amp;#039;s the reason most people do it - because everyone else is?   Sometimes you hear the words &amp;quot;peer pressure,&amp;quot; and it&amp;#039;s easy to think of it as being made fun of or harassed until you give in to it. But a lot of times it&amp;#039;s easy to not even realize you&amp;#039;re being pressured to do something. You might just feel like you should do it because your friends are, so you give in.  Has this ever happened to you? What did you do to get out of it if you didn&amp;#039;t want to do it? Share your stories below!  XOXO -A. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
