I hear you. The influence of being accepted is so high out there if they are told by the media this is how you should think they seem to follow. My daughter unfortunately is a perfect example. She was so independent of her class mates in her thought process in HS but after that I don't know what happened. I do know when she comes over and I hear what she is listening to on her phone she is being influenced like a cult. Social media is unreal how they shape lives by this is what is equal bla bla bla, what is right, bla bla bla.
