If your ability to engage with the article and this topic is reduced to parroting cliches, consider this one: if all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?
I'm generally friends with good, sane, smart people. If they're all jumping from the bridge, there's almost certainly something to jump from, so yes I would.
I mean. Yes? Probably?
If all my friends drove 75 mph, would I risk driving 15 mph in front of them?
