• From these ideas, I thought of the issue of social pressure in which I personally think that it is quite a big issue within the youth and adults in general. I also thought that it was something that might be interesting to look into and further explore. 

• I thought that it might be too personal (?) or is a sensitive subject to discuss. However I felt that, I see social pressure everywhere, on media, with celebrities and even the people around me. It was something that I thought I couldn't ignore and wanted the world to know. 

• I was briefly looking into the idea of social pressure and how it came to be. I would say that the digital world, modern society and success came hand in hand with social pressure. I need to look more into the HOWs and WHYs.
