I don't usually get into those kind of situation because most of my close friends are good influences.

So far, I haven't experienced a very negative peer pressure, but when I was back in high school, some of my friends wanted to hang out in another friend's house or go to the mall. That was okay for me, but not when it is late at night. Sometimes they really try to talk me into it, almost like tempting me to come and go with them. There were sometimes when I also wanted to join them, I ask my parents if they would allow me and if they do, then it's okay. But if they don't, or they are not informed, I will not lie and go out late with my friends.
