People just don't realize how much peer pressure, the desire for peer acclamation, influences them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Peer pressure and social norms are powerful influences on behaviour, and they are classic excuses.
Peer pressure plays a huge role in people's desire to get married.
I think that no matter what you're doing as a teenager, you're going to be presented with peer pressure.
Peer pressure is something everyone will face in school. You have to really go by what you think is the right thing to do. Turn to the friends you trust the most when you are put in a compromising situation. If your friends are making the wrong decision, then turn to your parents.
You get social pressure from your parents, who teach you to pay attention to certain things and not to others. You get it in school.
To know what that true self is without social pressure is to know your true nature.
Peer attachments are not the problem themselves. It's when they compete with adult attachments that the problems emerge. It's just like when siblings get attached to each other. If they start revolving around each other, then the parents can't do anything with them because it's a competing attachment.
At the end of the day, just know that God made you, so you can be your own individual, and don't let people give you that peer pressure.
Peer pressure is just that: pressure.
Just because so many conforming kids wake up every morning asking, 'What is everybody else going to wear today?' doesn't mean that they don't wish it were different. Peer pressure is just that: pressure.
