What is the role of peer pressure in Stargirl?

Peer Pressure plays a very big role in Stargirl; in fact it's one of the dominant themes. For example, Leo tried to change Stargirl to be like everyone else in school so he wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen with her. Stargirl, the most unique character in the story, fed into peer pressure at one point and abandoned her outlandish style to fit in with the rest of the student body. The moral of the story is to be yourself regardless of how other people may react or perceive it because if you're not yourself, then who are you?
