You Always Want to Make Sure to UsePast or Present Tense Consistently

Peer pressure is something we all face in our lives. Onetime I feel peer pressured was when my best friend tried topressure me to steal a box of hair dye. My friend and I werein tenth grade when we stop at a Rite Aid after school oneday. She said she wanted to dye her hair red and asks me toput a box of hair dye in my backpack. I looked at her like

she was crazy, but she says, Just do it! I really didnt knowwhat to do. I was afraid I am on camera, but I dont wantmy friend to be mad at me. So I put the dye in my backpack.I must have been on camera, because the next thing I know,I am being stopped by a security guard. He asked to look in

my backpack, and I start to cry. My friend just runs out thedoor without looking back. The security guard lets me gowith just a warning, but now I wish I had never done it. Theexperience of being pressured to steal showed me that its

best not to give into peer pressure because only you knowwhats best for you.
