REFLECTION POINTS:

 What did you feel to be like in each role?

- In enacting the first role, it was not that hard since I am the one trying to convince my
friend in doing something. It felt more like of me being a bad influence to my friend
which made things easier that she immediately says yes because we are friends and I am
just trying to make an offer to try something new, but as I was pondering her situation I
realized that it is not that easy to reject a friend’s offer. As so as I was being the friend
who will be convinced, I got the initiation to ask why is it needed to do that, and the
reason of her rebellion in doing such things and immediately reject what she is trying to
offer since I already knew how it would feel if I was in her shoes and thinking that it
would be better to give an advice rather than make things worse.

 Did you find it difficult to say no?

- Not at all, since I experienced first how to be in someone’s shoes that made me realize
immediately how worse it can be if I will say yes. But at some point, if I haven’t tried to
be the bad influence first maybe it would be hard for me to say now because of the
friendship that we have and I am being peer pressured.

 What do you think you would do in real life situation?

- If this was a real life situation, I will think first before I do something, I will make sure
that once I made a decision I am sure and it won’t make things worse and make my life
messed up. I may hang out with my friends but knowingly what drugs is, curiosity might
kill me but safety will be my priority so no matter what situations or peer pressure may
come, I will definitely say no to it.
