That is very hard. We can not control our thoughts, but we can focus our energy on something else that makes up block their thoughts.
"Where your focus goes, your energy flows"
When you focus on other people's thoughts all ur energy is toward that, and you will keep thinking about them. Do something cool, work on ur dream, eat some food, and watch a good movie. Whatever u want or think u can attract it by being positive and saying to your self, I am more, and worth it. and say I'm thinking about me, myself, and my love of whatever or dream lol :DD
I think that yes, it could be an example of diverting peer pressure.
If your peers are forcing you to smoke, but you don't want to, you could say this and hope that this would be a sufficient answer, it diverts your unwillingness to smoke to your parents, and so the conflict with a peer is also diffused.
Grant and Sherman used the strategy of total war to shorten the war in their favor, using the many deaths of enemies to save lives on their side. We may never know if more would've died if they didn't use the tactic, but in my opinion civilian lives were not theirs to take. Soldiers agreed to die, but civilians didn't, making total war, in my opinion, not right. Others may say that their lives were a necessary sacrifice towards a common goal, but, in my opinion, if one side uses total war, can't the other side use it too for a horrible end? Form your own opinion, but that is mine.
