do you think to many teens are falling in to peer pressure?

Question

I my last Q about teens it was about them commiting suicied from depresson. Now I am asking do you think to many teens are falling into peer pressure? I do the pressure to smoke pot or do drugs and stealt and drink..est. I am only 11 and I know that one horrible dark day I will be a teen also. But I'll never fall into pressure. What do all of you think about this pressure problem

Answer 1

Absolutely!!!!! I would not be surprised but many people would be surprised at how many teens bend to peer pressure... whether it be to stealing, smoking, drugs, or just studying for school... (thinking it is cool to flunk). The end result of this bending to peer pressure is incredible for the United States. I TRULY believe that peer pressure is destroying the educational intellect of our very beings in the U.S. The U..S. used to be the leading country with schooling, etc and now it is down the line with such countries as India.. China.... France.. etc ahead of the U.S. and I blame much.... MUCH of this on peer pressure

Answer 2

Teens are definitely falling in to peer pressure...it's sad because life seems a lot tougher for teenagers these days as compared to the past. The media has a lot to play in getting teenagers succumb to peer pressure.

Another reason's the increasing emphasis on keeping up appearances.

Answer 3

no, i think that its the minority.

im 16, and the only peer pressure i have fallen to is listening to the same music, watching the same films etc. as my friends

i dont drink, smoke or do drugs, and i never would.

Answer 4

There seems to be no place for these kids to go to get a straight answer.

You want to be yourself, but you want to belong.

Which is more important?

Image is everything? Image is nothing.
