Come on, read my essay, you won't regret it...

Peer pressure is one of the worst social experiences in life. The problem is people actually give in to peer pressure, mostly because they want to seem cool and beloved. That is one of the many problems of peer pressure – it makes you forget your ethics and values, just to be accepted.

Personally, I think peer pressure is a bad phenomenon. It makes gentle and naïve children, teenagers and adults become people with wrong habits and principles, and that happens only because they want to be liked. Some people are asked to do horrible things that can badly affect them. If they don't do these things that they're asked to do, they are banished and considered "not cool". My advice to those people is to find new friends, because if their current friends abandon them just because they want to be good and not mess with bad activities, they are simply not friends. Plus, I do not believe in the phrase of "good peer pressure". In my opinion, there is no good peer pressure, because a person needs to judge everything by himself and by his principles, and not fall for brainwash and peer pressure even if the cause is good.

To conclude, peer pressure is surely a bad phenomenon and I think it should be overthrown from our world, because at the end, it only causes problems to everyone involved. Everybody should just do what their heart tells them to do and listen to no one - but themselves...
