Peer pressure affects the ability of a child's mind to do whatever he or she wants to.
With the help of adults, children can and will be able to do whatever he or she pleases. Have
you ever experienced peer pressure in your lifetime? Has someone tried getting you
to do something you don't want to? Today, many teenagers will deal with peer pressure like: drugs, sexual behavior, alcohol, and breaking the laws/rules. The key to decreasing Peer Pressure is to have constant reenforcement and realizing there are consequences for every action later.
There's all kinds of peer pressure. There's direct, unspoken, indirect, positive, and how to resist negative peer pressure. Direct peer pressure is convincing the other friend to do something with them. Unspoken, indirect is basically telling a friend to dress a certain way and they don't want to. Positive peer pressure is telling your friend to “keep up the good work,I know that you can do it”. Teens like to give in to peer pressure because they like the attention that it gives off. They wonder why they feel so guilty when they wake up in the morning.
The groups or cliques that you hang out with will eventually tell you to do stuff that you are not comfortable doing. The groups you hangout with are sending you the wrong messages and telling you to go in a certain path, but its not okay. Some people out there will tell you that if you smoke, you'll look cool and thats not right. But some friends can actually give you good peer pressure. They can say to you, “oh, you are doing such a good job and I have total faith in you.”
Some of your friends pressure you to do anything from sex, drugs, alcohol, and stupid stuff. You can lose your lack-of-esteem and education, repeatedly giving in, giving into drug-use, giving into smoking, getting into sexual behavior, and alcohol abuse. What teenagers can do is get help. Any adult would be happy to help. You can also role play on what you are going to say then have someone observe you, that way you can tell you friends who are pressuring you “No!”.
1.In conclusion, some teenagers can and will have peer pressure in their life time. It can be good or bad peer pressure. Friends can give you good advice and like I said before it can affect a child's ability to think for themselves. As for some teens in the world, they have been dealing with some much peer pressure that it causes their mind to not be in a good state at all, in most cases, it can a bit but sometimes fatal. Peer pressure describes the pressure by a encouraging a person to change his/her attitude, behavior, morals, and to ‘fit in’ a particular group. While people are trying to fit in, they fail to see the consequences of giving in to it. People fail to realize that they have a lot of Peer Pressure, not only erodes their own identity but messes up their education of getting into college or getting a job. People live with Peer pressure everyday and they can be positive or negative. Peer pressure is most common in students of age or adolescents, but can also be cited at later stages in life. Peer Pressure can have it's ups and downs sometimes and you have to learn to ignore it. For Example: Prom can have a lot to do with Peer Pressure.

Another example is that, people will help you and thats okay. Over all, Peer Pressure can be harmful in someways that you could never think was possible. Teacher's, Parent's, and even adult's that you trust will help you if you are ever in this situation.
