Peer pressure is worries or difficulties that you have because you have too much to deal with. It is a feeling of obligation, especially teenagers have, to sympathize with your friends to avoid to be isolated from them. That is a passing phase of adolescence. In many cases, you feel peer pressure to do something against what adult people, including parents would disapprove.
In the movie "Finding Forrester", Jamal was hiding his books and memos in his school locker. He didn't want his friends to know that he was a book beater. He rather wanted them to know that he was a great basketball player. His attitude was carried out based on the peer pressure.
One of the reasons why teenagers feel peer pressure more than other people in different age group is that adolescence is vulnerable and sensitive age.
It is difficult for teenagers to recognize their own personality and quality because their sense of value can be changed every day. They are trying to search who they are and what they want to do with life.
They absorb knowledge in both good ways and bad ways.
In childhood, our parents are the first teachers in life.
They teach us everything,the rules, morality and common sense in general.
As we grow up, our community grows up, too.
You meet a lot of new friends at school and outside your home. You realize that the world is so broad that their parents can't be there to help you all the time.
The feedback your friends give you have a great influence on you.
You find your identity through your friends.
As we get older, we don't worry so much about what other people think about you.
You are settled and confident about yourself with your experiences.
