Peer Pressure

strength, individuality, and resolve. Though peer pressure isn't always a bad thing, some people have been pressured into doing the right thing!

you should never give in to peer pressure. If you are feeling uneasy and not sure about something than you should not do it. Trust your gut.

Yeah don't give in to peer pressure, I've been through it before and its not good don't give in. Follow what your gut says.

You have a strict policy of no-smoking for your children. But they start hanging out with their friends, sometimes late at night. Sometimes they have some drinks. And they smoke a stick or two. Your child may not have this habit to begin with but if his friend goes, 'Hey, just give it a try, you might like it', he may be inclined to try it. Your son is said to have given in to 'peer pressure'.

Threatening to beat someone if they don't do as they're told. Or telling on you if they know you already did something wrogn. If you fall for this, they'll hold it over you for as long as they can, and in the end,will tell on you anyway. Tell on yourself and save yourself the stress.

Also Negativeness not helping out. Positive peer pressure is like if a friend got an A in science you cheer them on or congratulate them. Negative peer pressure could be a friend telling you to stay out past your curfew and such

• Generally a single man that wears a wedding band (usually on the right hand) does so because it may have been his fathers or his mothers wedding band.) There may be the odd single man that is shy and it a way that he can excuse himself if caught in an awkward position if a woman comes onto him. Some men may be gay and although in some States gay marriages are not acceptable the couple feel they are married so they wear wedding bands.

Just ask tell her i am thinking about a makeover do you want to help me? and see what there question is.

I don't really know, but I think it is because well i don't think that guys care all that much about things. Like what hey ware to school, there math grades, and most of all if people are going to Jude them. Now boys, don't go yelling at me if I'm wrong and I'm not so shure if this was kinda what you were wanting to know, but that's my opinion.

I believe it has always been this way and isn't a new thing. It stems from a simple need to 'belong' and be accepted.

To give an example, if you study the social habits of prisoners you can see a lot of 'tribal' behavior, a new inmate will immediately seek out his own kind in order to belong. When I say 'own kind' I mean the people who display the closest affiliations with his/her own social background/ethnic group.

It's the same with teengagers and because they are still maturing and developing their own personalities they are more easily influenced by other people.

First thing is to MAKE school officials aware of the problem. For instance, the school counselor, principle, any teachers. Also, parents needs to have the issue made known to them. Talk to anyone that will listen. Always involve a trusted adult. Discuss issues with a close friend. Make someone listen.

If the issue is being made aware to several trusted individuals, the more likely the problem is to be taken seriously, rather than a record of just 1 (one) account of the issue.

Second is talk to someone that is trustworthy. Express your feelings and struggles.

The worst thing to have happen is that the student didn't feel he/she had anyone to talk to or no one would listen, and the school leaders were never made aware of the problem, before its too late.

I'm glad you asked this question, because I was just talking about this to my AA group members yesterday. Peer pressure has quite the influence on teenage promiscuity. If everyone "does it", then tells you that you should too, then you are extremely affected. Try this scenario... Johnny: So Laura, wanna go out tonight? Laura: Oh, sure Johnny! Where would you like to go? Johnny: Well, I was thinking Lookout Point. Laura: But...isn't that...where people..."do it"? Johnny: Well, yeah. Laura: I don't think that I'm ready for that kind of promiscuity yet. Johnny: Well, everyone's doing it! C'mon! I'll tell everyone that you're still a virgin. Laura: Well....then I guess we could. Tada! That's how peer pressure influences teenage promiscuity. Now, go fill the pathetic void in your life by playing Whack-A-Mole seventeen hours a day.

Just resist what ever it is that your peers are trying to pressure you to do! Even though you may thing it makes you cool it isn't. Stay strong and keep hanging out with your true friends because these people that are trying to get you to do these stupid things aren't really your friends!

Do not be afraid to ask questions. As humans, we are afraid and wary of the unknown. Find out as much as you can by contacting the lgbt chapter in your area, or reading reliable sources on the internet. If you are homophobic because you think you might be gay, that is all the more reason for you to educate yourself.

Well, teenagers are not all the same. They do have common traits though, such as, them wanting to spend time with there friends more than family. They always want something, they are definitely mean at times but despite their bad attitudes and problems, they really do care about their family members and their friends. They are moody and unsocial at times.

Peer pressure in school means that you feel like you should do what everyone else is doing. because your "peers" want you to do it. You should never give in to peer pressure and always ask yourself "why" am i doing this? And if it is because of other people, you should think if you would do it before those people did.

hello. charley is a unicorn. hello. charley is a unicorn.

Simple, they will use you for little things like telling you to steal from shops, or making you smoke when you say no. try this: when they ask you to do something you know is wrong, say "why don't you do it" they will most likely make an excuse to avoid answering you.

Bad peer pressure would be helping your friends rob a bank, or doing drugs because your friends do drugs.

Good peer pressure would be helping your friends do volunteer work, or assist the elderly because your friends assist the elderly.

Frequent exposure to religious meetings with other believers and Christians is a great aid in reinforcing my own beliefs and my faith. Reading the Bible and other religious tracts is another valueable aid in staying close to God and Christ.

Religion affects me by bringing me closer to feel the love and compassion of God.

Bullying and Peer Pressure have a lot in common. Bullies force people to do their bidding or force them to do something they don't want to do. Peer pressure is being influenced by your friends to do something that you don't want to do. In the end both can hurt you, but the only difference is, is that bullying is done by someone you fear, or dislike and peer pressure is used by those you either idolize or trust.

Peer pressure has a large effect on teens everday choices. Peer pressure can be broken down into two groups; good peer pressure and bad peer pressure. Good peer pressure is being pushed into somthing that you don't have the courage to do but is reletively good for you. Teens under good peer pressure will be urged NOT to do somthing because it was not in their best interest. Bad peer pressure is being coerced into doing something because your friends said you should. People that aren't real friends may suggest something unhealthy, such as drugs. One possible classification of friends may be as follows: # Not Your Friend - People you usually don't associate with under normal circumstances. # Acquaintance - This group of people includes those that you might see in school, but you don't associate with out of school. You might occasionally cross their path out of school, but you wouldn't normally seek them out. # Wannabe Friends - These are people you might want to be friends with for some selfish reasons, such as hoping to be more popular. People who fall into this category are never your true friends because the foundation for the friendship does not have a solid basis. # True Friends - These are the ones in the small, close group of people that you confide in and you know that they have your best interest in mind. The people in this group are those whose influence on your life makes you a better person. Peer pressure may influence us in a number of ways, including our: * Fashion choice * Alcohol and other drug use * Decision to have a boyfriend/girlfriend * Choice of who our friends are * Academic performance
