Adults can go through certain peer pressures at work among friends. Teachers may have rich friends that are able to buy things that they want and go on trips and that may make the teacher feel guilty for not being able to do many things with his family.
A husband or wife may want their spouse to engage sexually when they may not want to or they have some business meeting the next day.
However, it's true that teenagers are the age group that experience the most peer pressure because they are at the age when they are trying to find out who they want to be and others influence them the most.
