well i think the decision that jamel made was smart , and i know how hard is must have been knowing that all your other friends are doing it and that if you dont youre pretty sure they'll get mad , so it must have been pretty hard for him to reject it . and especially with everything they said if he didnt take it he would be a herb . so yea i think the decision he made was right and yes it must have been pretty hard for him to say "no" ! .
i have also once been pressured to do something because of friends (sometimes even family ) which is to do graffiti . i had been pressured several times in school and home . i denied it at school and home the reason i did was because i thought of my family and if i got caught all i would be putting them through . how much it would hurt my mom and stress her out to have another kid getting in trouble (like the 18 year old wasn't enough )
and sometimes these kids who are doing it , want other people to join them because it makes them feel stronger , and then they also get compliments like "your not a wuss liek him or her " and it hypes that person up . and they might not accept people who are diffrent who say no because i guess they look at them with hate like they messed up there life but this other person is still perfectly fine
