What is peer pressure? Peer pressure is influence from members
of ones peer group. Peer pressure can be often related to persuading
ones mind of thought. This term can be related for both good and bad.
Good peer pressure can motivate other or give them courage to do big
things. Bad peer pressure can bring out the worst in people influencing
bad behaviors and actions. Good peer pressure could be telling
someone to be brave and overcome his or her fears. Bad peer pressure
can lead to bad choices and take people down the wrong path in life.
For example, encouraging your timid friend to ask his female co-worker
out on a date. An example of bad peer pressure could be exposing a
child around bad actions. If this term wasnt established in his life I
think it be a mixture of disappoint and relief. The disappointment would
be that peer pressure can relate to so much encouragement and
without it thered be a lot more non-brave people willing to take risks.
The relief of it not existing would be less bad actions taught or poor
influences. Peer pressure can be taught in both a positive and negative
manner depending on how this term is used. If this term was an animal
I say dogs are effect by it a lot. Depending on how they were treated
results in the type of peer pressure. In conclusion, peer pressure
influences all thoughts in all of our minds
