Conformity, pressure, and power
Provide an example from your high school days of a situation where you felt the need to conform in some way. What was the source of this feeling? What did you gain by conforming, or what did you lose by not conforming in the situation? Would you say that any kind of power was involved? Explain.
An example from my high school days where I felt the need to conform would be in the beginning of grade 9. Starting school and seeing new faces everywhere I went in this new environment, I personally wasn't being my true self because of me wanting to fit in with a group and not being alone throughout my time in high school. At the same time I did gain a lot by conforming. I met my best friend and as well I have a group that I still talk to currently. Looking at how I conformed back then, I didn't think there was a power or pressure towards me. That was my decision to act that certain kind of way to find a group and get friends. Looking back at it through I personally shouldn't have conformed myself. I know that I would have still found the group that I currently speak to and as well my best friend.
