Pressure

In my book Julie is being pressured by a boy to have sex. She doesn't agree with having sex at such a young age, but she believes that she really loves him so she falls for the pressure. She knows that what she is dong is wrong and she feels very uncomfortable with her decisions. She continues to go along with everything he wants because it makes him happy.
Do you please the ones you love most, even if you don't agree with them or do you do what you know is best for you even if it hurts them?

  1. I think it really depends on the particular situation. I'd love to say that I will never do something that I don't agree with but I doubt that's possible. If your boss wants you to do something even if you don't agree with it, and as long as it's not morally or ethically wrong what do you do? Do you say no and possibly lose your job? I think for the most part though that if someone I loved asked me to do something that I didn't agree with or wasn't comfortable doing then I would definitely say no, because I should be able to trust them to understand. I also think that by saying no you could be helping them in the long run if what they want you to do is also harmful to them.

  2. i wouldn't give in to something like that. i mean i guess it would depend on the situation. if it were my work that made me do something that would be different than a boy trying to get me to do something i am uncomfortable doing. firt of all if that boy really cared about this girl he would respect the fact that she didn't want to and he wouldn't push it.

  3. I act way different around my grandparents than I do my mom. With my grandparents I feel like I can't really be myself around them. They are so hard core christain that I'm like no can't do this or this around you. But with my mom I'm almost completely myself. My mom and I like the same kind of stuff. I will do certain things with my grandparents that I hate doing as long as it keeps them happy even if it feels like I sm being untrue.
