Hmmmmmmm, do i really care what other people think? i know that i am supposed to say no that i don't care about others opinions. i mean all the corny tv shows tell me that when i try to be something other them myself to gain approval everything goes wrong and i loose my friends. But the truth is i do care. not as much as some people but i do care what other people think about me.
i tend to spend more time then i should picking out what clothes i am going to wear or buy and other superficial things like that, but thankfully it normally doesn't effect my actions towards others. i will tell a joke and not care who i offend! jk, but you get my point.
i know that it is important to listen to what you think is right but it is also important to listen to what other people think is right. you don't need to do what they tell you but you should listen to their advice. if you do exactly what others tell you then you give up your gift of choice what makes you an individual. but by listening to others and taking their advice you can better your self as a person.
i am able to listen to my inner voice most of the time because lets face it the people giving the peer pressure are jerks. i don't want to listen to them and it is usually me who gets picked on. in the book i am reading, Left Behind the main characters are actively persecuted for their belief. the government is trying to discourage Christianity and it persecutes the believers. so the characters have to fight for what they believe in and what they think is right. Also in F451 Montag faces the same sort of problems. society is trying to end all independent thought by making it completely unnecessary, but when Montag realizes the truth he fights for the right to think for himself.
so in the end you should listen to others but you need to make the final decision yourself.
