Not EVERYBODY is doing it

Since I can remember most teens have always used the excuse, "Well, everybody's else is doing it," when their parents tell them no about something or when they need to justify why wrong actions could be okay for them to do. BUT, the good thing is, this is usually the furthest from the truth.
