    Peer pressure is defined as the social influence a peer group exerts on its individual members, as each member attempts to conform to the expectations of the group. No matter the generation, peer pressure plays a big role throughout people’s lives. Whether it starts with how people dress or who they hang out with, peer pressure is virtually everywhere. People may think that they are not affected by peer pressure, but every choice they make is centered on the opinions of others. Peer pressure can get so out of control that people’s lives are conquered by the pressure and lead them to make decisions they ultimately disagree with and even ruin their lives. The novels All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque and It Happened to Nancy…

    Alice Langholt, (2012), wrote: “Some of the main causes of peer pressure are related to age-appropriate behavior. Adolescents develop a strong desire to fit in with their peers and be accepted by them. This desire makes adolescent peer pressure tough to resist. Peer pressure occurs when group of people force each other to go along with certain beliefs and behaviors.

The consequences of being rejected by one’s peers are embarrassment and shame, both very negative emotions for teens. Simply agreeing with the group’s attitudes usually isn’t enough; teens have to prove themselves by backing their words with actions. Teens may be unwilling to speak up because they’re afraid to lose a friendship with one of these leaders or because they fear losing their status in the group.”…
