First of all, I think it’s quite difficult to face the peer pressure. Everyone’s trying to get along well with others, so sometimes you tend to cater to them unconsciously. Secondarily, although everyone has their own values and principles (I do so), they should be respected under not necessarily all kinds of circumstances. In my point of view, one should adjust himself/ herself to the circumstances, but not forgetting his/her original insistence.
If someone laughs at me for never skipping classes, I would give them a snort of contempt. Skipping classes is nothing to be proud of. It’s only a distorted value among nowadays college students. Students make excuses for their oversleeping or laziness, and try to rationalize their wrongdoings. It is definitely not the right attitude toward learning. In addition, as the Bible has taught us, one shouldn’t walk according to the course of this world. You can do whatever you want, but still, all things are lawful for you, but all things are not expedient; all things are lawful for you, but all things edify not. (Corinthians 10: 23)
