Yesterday my class and I went to see a show about drugs. At the show there was a story about two boys and a girl that went to a club. One of the boys brought some drugs for them, so they have "more fun!" He and the girl took some right at the beginning but the other boy didn’t want to take some. In the end, the other boy took some because of peer pressure . At the end of the night, the boy was hospitalized in an emergency room.
This is one exampleof bad peer pressure.
In my opinion, peer pressure is not a good thing, usually your friend want you to do something you don’t want to, and that almost always ends badly. Peer pressure is something teenagers and people in general should avoid getting into. So why are teenagers giving in to peer pressure? Of course, the answer will be that they want to be popular, to be liked, to be admired. But, do they really think this is the way?
I think not, I think peer pressure is a bad thing and kids shouldn't give into peer pressure, because they can be pouplar if the be themselves too.
To conclude, I think that sometimes teenagers need to know how to say no! to protect them selves, and to be themselves and do what they want and not what their friends told them to.
