<p>is it ok to mention that my friends were often into that stuff (drinking, smoking, etc) and i avoided peer pressure and eventually realized i was hanging with the wrong group? (somehow making me thrive to succeed)
this is for the UC essay talking about the world i come from and i feel that this is a big part of my life; i will talk about family at first then transition into high school experience?
let me know your opinions..</p>
<p>Personally, essays I’m not really scared to go all out in are for psychology courses.
But I don’t think it’s a bad idea if, like you said, it made you have a realization and now you’re better off.
There are always going to be opinionated people, but who cares? If it makes for a good paper, go for it.</p>
