Peer pressure: is when “friends” persuade you to do something that you do not want to do or are unsure about.
Two types of peer pressure
- Bad peer pressure: occurs when you are being coerced into doing something that you don’t want to. Friends have a tendency to think that they know what is best for you, and may offer their opinion whether it is wanted or not.
- Good peer pressure: is being pushed into something that you didn’t have the courage to do or didn’t think about doing. Another form of good peer pressure is walking away from a bad situation/ decision because your friends convince you it is not in your best interests. Some people say that good peer pressure is when you get pushed into something that you didn’t want to do and it turned out well.
