Here is your short paragraph on Peer Pressure !
Peer pressure is said to be a situation where a person (or a group of individuals) try to encourage other person (usually of their age) to do things that they wouldn’t do or try to alter their mind set, behavior, values or attitude towards something.
Peer pressure plays a major role behind dragging teenagers to get started on smoking, alcohol & drugs. If you try to escape from such habits you are considered as an outsider & un-cool by the people of your age.
Your wish to get fit into the system leads you to take alcohol and drugs. Peer pressure can make you sad, guilty, anxious, and disappointed or pushover. The best way to overcome the situation is to deal people tactfully in your own unique way so that your decisions don’t make them feel bad.
