Heavy Gravity

It weighs you down.

You know what else does? Peer Pressure.

We have all been there; pressured to do something or to be someone. It can be hard sometimes not to give in into pressure for many reasons. Maybe the convincing was strong or maybe the need to feel included was resting inside of you. The deal with pressure is that it causes you to do something that is not in your best interest. When you pretend to be what you are not, you are lieing to yourself and to others. No one likes a lier. In reality, the truth comes up eventually no matter how much you try to hid it. Some may deny ever being pressured into doing something, when they're heart is saying something different.

What people need to do is always look in the right direction. Choose what is right for themselves and not what other people believe is right. To not give into peer pressure you have to believe in yourself. You have to believe that you are far to special to involve yourself into what you know is not worth your time and attention. You have to stand up for yourself. Tell those that pressure you that it is not for you. I am currently filming a Docudrama based on peer pressure. In one of my scenes i was a girl being pressured to join my friends in bullying another girl. My character was someone that tries hard not to give into pressure. She declares that bullying is not for her and gives a quick speech on how the issue is not cool. Then, i walk away with the bully victim making my statement clear: I will not give into peer pressure! We need to be more like that character, that no matter how cool something may look or how powerful it makes you feel, we need to remember that we should demonstrate change and not go against it.

Heavy gravity is like climbing the top of a mountain. The higher you go, the harder it is being pushed down on you as you continue. The same is with Pressure, the father you go, the harder it may be. But, what will make the difference and cause success is if you do not give up.

Pressure is heavy gravity, but strength will help you overcome that weight.
