It is easy to remain who you are and attend to parties and get drunk if that
fits your personality.
Now imagine that what your social environment is asking from you is beating
other kids because of... reasons. Being yourself becomes a harder thing to
accomplish. It is only easy if being yourself is not contrary to beating other
kids.
