With life full of challenges and obstacles it's hard to know what is real and what is fake. One of the biggest reasons difficulties in any relationship is miscommunication or lack of communication. In this day and age so many fear face to face confrontation. Instead we like to hide behind a computer screen, a fake name, or just be completely anonymous.
There is nothing wrong with being completely anonymous, until it hurts someone. Now directly hurting someone such as bullying and peer pressure is wrong on many levels. This is different than trying to live a specific lifestyle, or pointing out the flaws in society. Society can break a person faster than an opera singer can break a glass. Especially when society will turn the people closest to a person against them.
It's because of society and being anonymous that people will find communication hard between loved ones. In every person's life there will be a person that doesn't take no for an answer. They feel as though they are fighting for that person to be theirs. But the real question is how hard should one person fight for another before it becomes creepy or forceful? Not everyone wants to find love or a relationship, but may find themselves in one anyway.
Being in a relationship with someone or participating in activities without full consent is peer pressure. Without honest and full communication this can lead into an unhealthy and even an abusive relationship.
A person can never rely on body language or a person reading their mind to get the message of NO. Without verbal consent it can be considered a dreadful four letter word that make almost everyone uncomfortable in some way, rape.
It is true but unfortunate that body language is actually one of the worst languages out there. It only gives half of the message if that.
But the difference between forcing something to happen with another person and fighting for a person; is understanding the meaning of NO. Even if it's a small no, it's still a no. It's never acceptable to put someone in a situation in which they feel as though saying no is not an option.
As scary as it is, the only way for peer pressure to stop is to tell someone or cause a scene. It will always be hard saying no, but if it's not what a person wants, then saying no is the only thing they can do.
Society makes saying no to be childish, and the media glamorizes certain activities, along with peer pressure. Society is messed up because even as they say fight against peer pressure, their next argument is to go against someone's comfort level.
