Have you ever wondered why many campus students end up meeting themselves in a dilemma? With the freedom granted to the campus students by the virtue of being considered as young adults who have attained the age of eighteen years and above, it is therefore believed they are capable of making rightful decisions. However, many turn this chance as an opportunity and freedom to amuse themselves while having parties, road trips and even others engaging themselves in sexual immorality. In this context many tend to forget their individual backgrounds and their main purpose in the university.
Decisions need much consideration before in settled on
University life is full of different pressures, both negative and positive pressures. As to deal with this pressure, one has to make a thoughtful decision on whether to coup or to quit from such pressures which are building around him or her. It is always wise to try and stay positive whenever facing negative peer pressure such as bad companies, excessive drinking of alcohol, late night parties and even unnecessary road trips. Reflect on yourself and make the right decisions whenever possible. If possible, seek assistance or guidance from your parents and other stakeholders who can help you out.
It is evident that many students find themselves in a dilemma due to the wrong choices taken by them. .any fail to seek guidance due to their ignorance and by considering themselves mature enough to make each and every decision in their lives. This leads to such characters ending up coup with the negative peer pressures which may later make them regret due to their neglectance.
Campus students always come from different backgrounds, therefore there is always different classes of students. It is not abnormal to get a student from an average class trying to fit into a high standard life so as to fit into the class of friends or classmate only to maintain his or her friendship with them. This builds pressure to such student who in turn builds that similar pressure to his or her parents in demand for money. Due to the high demanding lifestyle, one may also be forced to seek alternative source of generating money, hence engaging themselves in sexual immorality and other negative doings in order to earn extra money to meet their expensive lifestyle.
You may wonder why they do so, but it is due to negative peer pressure and the consequences of wrong decisions made. Many tend to forget that there are consequences always. They turn a blind eye on the consequences of their own decisions which may include contracting Sexually Transmitted Diseases which may affect their health and their mental wellbeing.
Most importantly in decision making, no one forces anybody to make a certain decision. Personal decisions always come first. Hence, it is therefore important to avoid or quit from negative pressure and cling themselves to the positive pressures such as engaging themselves in the different religious domains, avoiding bad companies over good and constructive friends and also engaging in different sports activities to keep oneself busy from an idle mind.
Rightful decision making is always important in a number of ways as such as helping in avoiding regrets and other negative vices such as commiting suicide due to the pressures building from the wrong choices made before. On the contrary, couping with right decisions in the campus life may put one in a safer position from consequences which can be easily avoided. It is therefore important to stay positive and stay away from negative peer pressure, despite the freedom of decision making granted to the campus students, remember it is not shameful to seek advice from the authorities or your parents.
