Generalisations...


You can generalise all you want but the truth is all people are individuals. Your whole opinion piece is full of statements with no evidence to back up what you are saying. To start off with, not everybody refers to university as a "hell". Every person has his/her own opinion about their university experience depending on what they made of it. People don’t dislike like certain individuals for no reason and in my mind there is no such thing as a "lucky strike which makes people popular". Actions and words which are spoken will ultimately determine what people think of you. You have a lot to say about peer pressure and I agree with you that it is still an issue that students have to deal with on a regular basis, BUT is it not time that we learn for ourselves what is right and wrong? Are we not old enough to decide for ourselves what we want to do? If we are not able to do this I think it’s time to grow. I also feel that more research needed to be done to avoid the huge generalisations such as all hippies walk barefoot and all people who enjoy hip-hop music wear baggy clothes.
