Pressure

 

            Peer groups throughout the world are known to the average person as friends. You look up to them to help you make decisions about school, life, or even just for advice about love. The peer groups today have both positive and negative influences. They can either be helpful or harmful to us as a person. Just as most of us do we look to our peers to offer good advice. always be helpful to a person. Through peer mentor training they are able to teach what might be right and what is wrong. A mentor doesn't really teach a person, they help that person choose a path that would help them through the hard times of their life. Our peers, also friends, can always be there for someone whenever they need them the most. Our peers give us a shoulder to cry on, a friend that lends a hand, someone that laugh with when something funny happens. To have a friend like that brings us joy in our life. Our peers also bring us bad advice. There are many peers in our lifetime that bring pressure into the picture.
             Peer pressure is considered is as a person pressuring another person in doing something that they do not approve of. A person might see this among high school students. Students try to pressure other students about drugs, alcohol, smoking and sex. Knowing that most of these issues can kill literally kill a person. Not only ruin your reputation as a person. Some students are known as the alcoholic, nymphomaniac, drug lord or druggie. So many students, little kids, believe by doing this they will become and adult. To become an adult is that you take care of your responsibilities, and to become mature. All the negative influences that peer pressure can bring only makes a person immature. What student would want to look like an 80 year old person and still have a brain of a 10-year-old kid? That is the question that most parents and guardians still have. Not all have the answer for, though. To me peers can bring very positive influences, and a lot of grueling negative influences.
