Well, if you don't want to do something, don't do it. Teenagers just like adults have the freedom to resist their peers' suggestions. If your friend forces you to take a drug at gunpoint, sure, that's wrong. But if he just tells you it'll make you feel good and you voluntarily go along with him under your own free will, I don't see what's wrong with that. Most peer pressure isn't done by force since people generally don't hang around assholes who force them to do shit they don't want to do.
Oneironaut Reviewed by Oneironaut on . What's so bad about peer pressure? I just saw another one of those stupid Above the Influence commercials. The one with the chick who was crushed from "peer pressure" so she's like 2 feet tall. And it got me thinking. What's really so bad about peer pressure? Why is "peer pressure" such a negative term? These commercials are only trying to replace peer pressure with parent pressure and teacher pressure. It is true that teenagers are often influenced by their peers into doing things, but this has been the case for everybody in Rating: 5
