Advantages and disadvantages of peer pressure?

Answer 1

I think the advantages of peer pressure is you start to feel very uncomfterble and worried about what that person or more wants you to do that you don't want to do. Remember: Peer pressure is people around your age wants you to do something that you don't want to do.

Answer 2

Peer pressure refers to the influence exerted by a peer group in encouraging a person to change his or her attitudes, values, or behavior in order to conform to group norms. Social groups affected include membership groups, when the individual is "formally" a member (for example, political party, trade union), or a social clique.

Advantages:

If you're pressured into doing something that is good for you, such as joining the jogging group or a community volunteer group, then perhaps peer pressure is advantageous.

Peer pressure can sometimes spur positive ideas that may not have occurred to you on your own; learning something that is helpful to you or your life.

Disadvantages:

A person may not want to belong to the groups but feel compelled to by the pressure of the group.

Peer pressure can cause people to do things they would not normally do, like promote hatred, take drugs, smoke, get a girlfriend/boyfriend, marry inappropriately, buy items they don't really need or can't afford.

All in all, you should learn to think for yourself. This can be extremely difficult (especially for teenagers) because we are social creatures and seek acceptance from our peers. "To thine own self be true," as Shakespeare once so elegantly put it. Learn who you are, and be comfortable in your own skin. Don't always follow the crowd.
