Good peer pressure would be helping your friends do volunteer work, or assist the elderly because your friends assist the elderly.
Peer pressure is when you are pressured by peers (people your age group) to do something good or bad, but people usually think of bad peer pressure when brought up (e.g. being pressured to take drugs).
Peer pressure can influence you to do either good or bad things, depending on what your peers are pressuring you to do! However, whenever peer pressure is the only motivation for your actions, it's a bad thing because it's preventing you from thinking for yourself and making your own choices.
Why resist peer pressure? To answer this question you need to know more about peer pressure. Peer pressure is felt by people of all ages from the little kid who was pressured into taking a smoke to the adult who is pressured into not telling his wife about "Her" and doing bad things with "Her". There are two major types of peer pressure, They have scientific names but lets keep it on a level most people can understand. GOOD peer pressure and BAD peer pressure. Good peer pressure is called good for a reason. An example of this kind of peer pressure is pressuring your friend out of doing drugs, alcohol, or bad choices. This type should never be resisted because these people are trying to help you improve your life. Bad pressure is, yes you have already guessed it, bad. Bad peer pressure could be a multitude of things. Simple things like cheating on a homework assignment to Cheating on your significant other. This type of behavior not only hurts you but those around you. This type is never good but sadly it exists but should be avoided.

Well, that's hard to say considering when you hear "peer pressure" it comes off as a bad thing. But the worst I'd probably say would be sex peer pressure, drug peer pressure, and criminal peer pressure (as in breaking the law)

No, negative and positive peer pressure is different. For example: A teacher or a Supervisor may feel you have more inside of you for doing better in class or at work and will harass you into doing better and that's a good thing, but if someone is making you feel bad by destroying your character; making you afraid or threatened in any way this is negative peer pressure and classified as bullying.
A strong thesis statement on bad peer pressure could be: "Negative peer pressure can have detrimental effects on individuals, leading to risky behaviors, low self-esteem, and a compromised sense of identity. Understanding the underlying factors and developing strategies to resist negative influences are essential in promoting healthy relationships and personal growth."
you do drugs smoke get high and have sex under the age of 18...good enough for you?
Peer pressure is bad
It depends on the people you put yourself around. If you're around kids that constantly want to break rules and they're telling you to join in with it that's bad peer pressure, and honestly I haven't ever heard of good peer pressure. I'd guess it would be someone urging you to study for a test or something. I'm not sure, I just know that it depends on the people you put yourself around.
What is peer pressure?There are times when your friends have a lot of influence on what you say, do, or feel. They also affect the choices you make. This kind of influence is called peer pressure. It can either be good or bad.Good or positive peer pressure helps you be your best. Bad or negative peer pressure lets you do something even when you think it is wrong. It may sometimes lead you to do something harmful and destructive. Bad peer pressure causes you to take harmful risks.
