Being surrounded by different kinds of people is truly a pressure sometimes. Some will influence you with good but some won't. It was really a challenge for you to stand for your choices and beliefs. But just like what you've said, you are responsible for yourself and choices. Go with what you want. Do what you want. Decide for yourself. And be responsible for its consequences.
@annazsarinacruz , It truly is. You need to seek for those who influence you in a good way, or those who build your character. And yes, we are. Even if the options are bad... Well said!
