Depends on what the pressure is to do. Not everyone will give into peer pressure to smoke but they might give into peer pressure to jaywalk. So pretty much 100% will give into peer pressure about something.
Here are some stats: Smoking (cigarettes) - 38% Smoking (Drugs) - 53% Other Drugs - 22% Alcohol - 49% Breaking rules/law - 56%

∙ 8y agothis is a quite deep psychological thing, basically there are 3 types of agreeing with sum1, compliance which is when you just go along with it, internalisation when you completely chaneg your mind and wholly believe it and identification in it- it depends which of these it is as to why.
the 2 normal are normative influence and informational
normative is basically 'complying(so not realyl thinking it, but going along) and this happens because they want to be part of the 'in' crowd.
the last 2 however are more informational- basically you think the other person knows what they are talking about, and so agree
hope this helps

∙ 14y agoEverybody! Becoming subject to peer pressure is an unavoidable part of maturing into an adult. It is a true test of friendship; those who attempt to pressure you into doing something bad against your will fail this test. However, those who encourage you to do something which could potentially help you become a better person are true friends.
