What is Peer pressure? Many of us think it's something that our parents keep cribbing about, and hence, something we can safely ignore! Not true. Peer pressure is when you are feeling wretched because your friends want you to behave in a certain way!

Here are some common examples we hear everyday!

"You're 17 and you don't have a steady girlfriend! You must be weird!"

"Ohmygawd! She can't go on a date cause her mom won't let her. "

"I don't want to do it yet... but I feel so left out when everyone talks about it"

Sometime you make such statements; sometimes you hear them made about you! That's peer pressure. And you thought parents were difficult!

If it gets to you, it's very important to talk to someone, maybe an older sister or brother, or another friend even. It will make you feel much better.
