Peer Pressure

The title must have made you clear that I am going to discuss about peer pressure today. Do not neglect this topic as it is important for you to know about it. You must have done so many things directly or indirectly because of others, some things must be good and some must be bad. Peer pressure is everywhere right from watching a web series because everyone is doing it to buying something you don’t want to because of other. Peer pressure is not always bad sometimes it can help you attain good things but most of the teens are influenced towards bad things as they seems it is cool to do these stuff. Mostly teenagers get affected due to peer pressure because of lack of maturity or to fit in a group of people. When teens start forming new friendships they may start experimenting with alcohol, drugs, sexual activity because of the group he/she lives with.

Peer pressure has tremendous affect on kids. When one teenager suggests another teenager to try something it is spoken peer pressure and if the suggestion is one to one chances of influence increases. Some teens watch the action of other teens and get to choose what they want to get along with, this is unspoken peer pressure. But if you are mature enough you won’t get into these things. Once I was talking with my friend telling her how people are different from each other and some are not of my time. The reply I got from her was “You need to behave like them if you want to be with them” which is totally wrong. You need to stand for yourself. You do not need to change to fit in a group of people especially when they are doing wrong things. Never go against your ethics and morals. I have seen many people going in wrong direction like drinking, smoking as others didn’t accepted them as they were. Doing it gain acceptance from people is bullshit as you are mature enough to know your well being and you have got brains to make a decision. People who start doing a bad thing under pressure are fools. I will ask you a question, suppose you are working in a company and everyone around there drinks and smokes. You are judged and back bitched if you won’t do that, people around there make you feel lonely for not doing that. What will you do if you are not an alcoholic or smoker? Ask this question to yourself if you say yes and start doing it just to fit in with those people congratulations as you proved you don’t have brain. Congratulations for those who said no for standing against them and thinking about yourself.

Some people get into bad influence just to show others that they are cool and they will become a popular kid due to this. Peer pressure can have got good effect on you if you get under influence of people who wants to do something great in life. If a person asks you to do exercise, you agree with that person and start doing it which is beneficial to you. You have to choose your paths don’t let people misguide you. Learn to get in influence with things which will help in long term and know the difference between enjoying your youth and destroying your future.
