Peer pressure itself is a negative on the mind. When your actions are based on the only concern of pleasing someone or just for the sake of others then it is termed as peer pressure.Mind you if you are enjoying it and don't mind joining in with the group then its not Peer pressure.
Its always negative only as you do something thats not in your line, or you dont like but do it just for others blah blah ...

Peer pressure is the need to comply with the parameters a group of people require for you to be a part of. There are good groups and bad ones. I moved a lot, a simulated quickly, was easy to get along with different kinds of people. But I was never much of a joiner, our family moved to frequent to think of being part of a group you'll leave behind and never see again. No one could make me join anything, my time was always short.

Peer pressure is when you are forced to join those people who you absolutely wanted to please.
There is no negative peer pressure.
Peer pressure is the pressure itself bcoz you want to be "in the circle" with this type of people - your peers like friends, officemates, and others.
To handle it, you must know your ground. You don't join them if you know its not right.
Be yourself and do not get influenced by their bad acts. Peer pressure is extremely influential to those who have low self esteem.
