Peer Pressure

Some tell me, go along with your peers.
Everyone does it, there's no need for fears.
Is it courage to simply go along with the crowd?
Courage is clearly the path that stands out.  If I'm allowed:

          Webster's defines courage:
               Mental or MORAL STRENGTH
               to face danger without fear.
                    ( capital letters added for emphasis )

It's not the popular way, so I may be rejected or spurned, 
but I'll wait for marriage and trust God as I've learned.
The one who wins me as his better half,                (lol)
Must use his sense of humor when peer pressure comes, and laugh.
