Peer Pressure

yes. people often reject ideas because they had once believed in the same and now that they see it one way they want you to see it that way too.

well it depends but it usually means they aren't that into you and they are letting you down easily.

Negative peer pressure would be when people withhold affection or other usual contact because you have done something particularly offensive to the group's view of right and wrong.

Answer

Negative peer pressure is when people you know, that are around your age, pressure you to do something you wouldn't normally do.

pressuring someone to do drugsss...

peers telling you to do bad things and bullying you. making or persuading you to do things you don't want to do

Answer They may have trust issues from past relationships where they trusted someone and that person let them down or hurt them. I think some people don't even know how to have a close relationship. If a person grew up without having closeness in their family or seeing those kind of relationships they don't know how to have a close relationship even if they may want to. Some people are just loners.

It depends on your definition of 'drunk'. To be legal to drive - no chance ! To be 'apparently' sober enough to walk - that depends on the individual person's constitution.

Peer pressure leads to smoking when a non-smoker hangs out with smokers. The smokers sometimes make the non-smoker feel left out or uncool, so the non-smoker starts smoking. Of course, you can avoid that by selecting friends who are non-smokers. It could be also if you hear that somking relaxes you, so you try it once when your mad and you get addicted.

Oh my goodness, I've been in this situation hundreds of times before, and let me tell you, I know how you feel. I was in a deep rut with my classmates, they weren't talking to me, they didn't include me in anything, and they didn't invite me to their parties. I got bullied by a large group of people, and though people saw, no one stuck up for me. If I tried to stand up for myself, people who heard would tell everyone that I was the bad person in that scenario.

Don't listen to those jerks. People care about you. If they don't treat you nice, why should you treat them any different? Just ignore them. Don't talk back as you'll just give them another excuse to dislike you. If I were you, I would go to your teacher or parent and tell them what is happening, as you know you're family will always be there for you and love you no matter what you say to them. Don't get any ideas though!

If they don't do anything about it, stick up for yourself. Tell them that you're not having any of it, and if they want to bully you or leave you out of things, then they can just start being nice or else leave you alone. I'm sure they'll listen, and if not, just carry on and act like they're not there. Perhaps treat them the same way they treat you, and that will make them stop and think when they get a taste of their own medicine.

If all else fails and they still hurt you, then retaliate by saying "Treat others the way you yourself would like to be treated" or "There is no I in team, but there is one in telling". I'm sure they wont be able to think of a comeback!

It depends on the social environment and the person themselves. If he/she is dating a boy/girl, in some cases, somebody will most likely get peer pressured into doing something. Sometimes, if he/she doesn't get what they want, they'll go and spread a rumor about them. (Ex. They'll say something like, "She had sex with me and three other boys. She did everything I told her too. We even video taped it. I even got her to take naked pictures of herself and send them to my email address. Wanna see? I can prove it". Or they'll say, "It's over. I don't want you anymore. You didn't meet my requirements. It's okay. I got another one on the side."

People gossip. That's life.

It's starts with one story and ends up with a completely different story.

One says something came up missing after you left. She's steals...don't trust her.

Another: "She said she can kick her butt any day. She love to fight people. She was making fun of her the other day. One day she was by the garbage can and tried to throw a paper ball at her. Then, she claimed she tried to throw some paper away. Yeah, Right."

In some cases, it's peer pressure.

Like I said before, it varies. I know from personal experience.

Hope this helps.

I feel that teenagers get a bad reputaion because a very small minority are bad. Hey, we all have an odd drink, cigarette. but does that mean we're evil? i know my mother was smoking when she was 14 and drinking then too, she never really lectures me about these kind of things, she can't it would be hypocritical. but have other people got the right to demise us because of our age? i think people should respect us and let us make mistakes and have fun once in a while, we're only young once. we are the generation that killed Britain apparenly? pfft. in a few years we're going to be the generation that saves Britain. older people need to trust us, we're not all the same.

an example of direct peer pressure is like you're friends offer you a cigarette and wont let you just say no. Indirect peer pressure would be like, you took up smoking because 'every body else was doing it'.

for a 10 karat wedding band size 12.5, i think it is maybe one gram or maybe 1.5 grams.

the diameter of the ring i have is 22mm

giving a circumference of close to 70mm. The thickness is 1 mm and the width is 3 mm. gold has a density of 19.3 grams per cc. my ring is about a fifth of a cc.

if it was 24 karats that gives close to 4 grams of gold. my ring is only 10 karats

A thesis statement on peer pressure should focus on circumstances that people may end up being pressured to do things that are harmful. Statistics and facts should also be used to make a case.

Adults can go through certain peer pressures at work among friends. Teachers may have rich friends that are able to buy things that they want and go on trips and that may make the teacher feel guilty for not being able to do many things with his family.

A husband or wife may want their spouse to engage sexually when they may not want to or they have some business meeting the next day.

However, it's true that teenagers are the age group that experience the most peer pressure because they are at the age when they are trying to find out who they want to be and others influence them the most.

Yes, peer pressure can lead to crime and other undesirable characters. Peer pressure can also lead to prostitution and drug abuse.

We cannot speak for all abusive men, but we assume that most of them know that they are abusers. Abusive men tend to come from abusive homes, and the behavior may seem normal to them. Others may feel that such behavior is their right. Most of them know the law, but when rage strikes, the law often doesn't mean much.

Peer pressure is a hard thing to resist. Teenagers especially worry a lot about what other people think of them. The important thing is to keep asking yourself "Is this the right thing to do?" when you have a decision - it doesn't matter what other people think if you're doing the right thing. Then you have to have the guts to stand behind your decision.

No there are many benefits to peer pressure, positive peer pressure builds individual confidence and fosters teamwork. A child who might not otherwise try a new activity such as sports may do so if he sees his friends doing it and having fun.

Only if the activity in question is harmful is peer pressure a bad thing.

Peer pressure tends to have more of an effect on children with low self-esteem. If a child feels compelled to fit in, the teen may do things that go against his or her beliefs simply to be part of the group.

Peer pressure can lead to experimentation with drugs and alcohol, sex, skipping school, and various high-risk behaviors. If you notice a sudden change in your child's appearance, clothing, and attitude, especially if accompanied by secretive behavior, he or she may be succumbing to the influences of peers. You should be especially alert to sudden changes in the friends who make up their core peer group. An unexplained change in the type of friends you child associates with would indicate that your child is vulnerable to new influences that may not be positive.

Well, in every case that I've seen peer pressure it had bad effects. So let's say someone is really good, listens in school does their homework, Then someone who is the opposite of that comes along and teases them they are pressured to do wrong. So that is really bad. But, in really rare cases ( I mean really rare) Someone who is good makes someone who is bad to be pressured to do good. Now that is a positive effect. In conclusion, it can be either way. It depends on what you are talking about. I hope I helped. Well, in every case that I've seen peer pressure it had bad effects.

In the case of peer pressure, a person is convinced to do something (such as going to an opera and doing illegal drugs) they might not like but which they perceive as "necessary" to upkeep the positive relationship with the other party, such as the family of their partner. The person could agree to the offering even if he hated it for many reasons; maybe he or she is the possible inheritor of the family/person that asks him or her to come to the opera, the family could want to evaluate the person before letting their son/daughter get married with him/her, etc. from wikipedia

Peer pressure is a state of mind. Although for whatever reason, there are mental illness's that can be classified under the cause of peer pressure. I think peer pressure is all about the similarities all of us have in common. We each see ourselves as part of the herd. Social living has influence on us all. This is exemplified in the statement by John Donne ' No man is an Island'. Compare Paul Simon's song 'I am a rock.....'

Peer pressure is not directly mentioned in the bible.

However the bible does talk about a reed swaying with the wind, not being steadfast, and does show the example of Peter, who denied Jesus 3times due to what we know to be peer pressure.

Don't succumb to it. Be yourself, allow you to be yourself, and stand your ground with what you think is correct.
