In life there is always the temptation to seek the approval of your peers. It makes no difference if you are in school, at a job, out at a social event or home with family there are always going to be moments when you have to chose between acting or doing things the way that will please others or how you believe is right. I know from experience that it is never worth it to be a people pleaser! You must be true to yourself. You are responsible for your actions and to give up the decision making power for those actions to someone else is just plains stupid! If they offer some information or insight and it changes your mind, then by all means make the necessary corrections to your thinking and act accordingly, but don't change just to make them happy or in an attempt to win their approval. Most people won't respect you anyway! They will just view you as a pushover and laugh at you and your lack of backbone when you are not around.
