Peer pressure is something that is affecting most of the kids around the world, and worst of all is that its made from your own "friends". Peer pressure is the influence made by a group of people that encourages someone to change his/her attitude, behavior, and/or values, so he/she can fit in. When you were a little kid, your parents usually picked your friends, people they liked, but when you got older you picked your own friends, people who you like spending time with and that have similar likes and dislikes. Peer pressure always appears, even if it´s just by how to talk or to dress, from the way to walk, to making you do things like: drinking, stealing, doing drugs, smoking, having sex, etc. The pressure can be really hard to resist, because of the simple fact that someone is doing it, or saying he is doing it, or bragging about it. Most of the peer pressure happens because every guy belongs to a fixed group (jocks, nerds, etc). What everyone should do when they´re under pressure, is just walk away, or simply, learn how to say "No. Peer pressure has also influence on bullying; most of the bullies were the bullied once. The bullies think that just because they are stronger or bigger than someone else, they can intimidate them. They feel better that every one, and they feel respected, but theyre not, theyre feared. Bullies actually affect more than just fisically, they also affect mentally, they make guys or/and girls feel unprotected, unsafe, insecure, and afraid. You can talk to someone about your problems with bullies or being pressured by your friends. You dont have to stop hanging out with your friends, the best you can do is just staying true to yourself, there´s nothing wrong being authentic, you dont need to give in to the pressure.
