Hey Katie! Do you want to try my vape? It's super fun!
No, I don't want to. That kind of thing isn't for me.
Oh, I guess if you can’t show me you are committed to our friendship, we can’t be friends anymore
I mean if I try it, it would be fun, but it has health risks. If I leave, I would be safe, but wouldn't have as much fun If I stay and don't try it, I would be safe, but I would still feel pressured.
Hmmm... I could try it, or maybe I could just leave. What if I just stay here and don't try it?
Katie, you shouldn't do it. 99% of vape pens include nicotine, which has proven health risks.
I mean if you are this serious about it, I can try it.
WAIT!
Hmm... who impacts this decision? My internal influence is my morals and sticking to my values, but Bobby and Vanessa are both external influences, one negative and the other positive.
Using any amount of nicotine is addictive. Vaping as a teenager makes you much more likely for you to be addicted and cause brain damage than if you start vaping later in life.
I'm proud of myself for making that decision. I'm better off without Bobby's friendship and I am safe!
Bobby, I don't want a friend that puts that kind of pressure on me. I'm not going to vape and our friendship is done.
Yeah, you're right. Let's go
Hey I'm proud of you Katie. Is it alright if we leave though? I'm not comfortable here.
