Peer Pressuring is caused by one teen (in this case) not wanting to do something on there own because of the fear of the outcome. It's the fear that they had made the wrong decision and if they pressure some one else into to doing it, they are not alone in the consequence. It all depends on confidence, social skills, and self-esteem. Which coincidentally, self-esteem decreases in a teens life when they are comparing themselves to others. Decisions and choices are made because of other influences. That isn't just in a teens life though. In adult life, adults make decisions considering other peoples feelings. This is different because peer pressure is when you force someone into making a decision based on what you want. Teens are ver fragile at their age and will do anything to fit in and feel wanted. That is always the main goal - to be excepted!
