Peer pressure paves the road to adult life. According to Wall Street Journal, " Teens are more often to follow other teens because their brains derive more from social acceptance than adults. " As a teenager, fitting in is the main goal. Leading teens into doing drugs and alcohol. With 74% of highschool students drinking alcohol and over 3.1 million teens smoking, peer pressure is also not only risking their future but their lives as well. Like a maze, teens usually make the wrong turn.
Just like everything in life, peer pressure has it negative sides and also positive. Peer pressure can also develop good habits. " If peers value doing well in school or excelling in sports, for instance, it might encourage kids to study or train harder " says Wall Street Journal. With the influence of teens peers, it can push them to improve and excel in school and sports. With the positive pressure, teens are open to an opinion to being one step closer to finding themselves, finding what they enjoy and don't.
Peer pressure is an asset of becoming of age, a transformation from child to adult, from a cocoon to a butterfly. Peer pressure is a way of seeing into yourself. How you take in the pressure tells/shows you who you are, and that feeling you get is what makes you different from everyone else. How you deal with the situation tells you who you are. Negative or positive, the choice you make leads you closer toward the end of the maze, the rainbow after the storm, and next thing you know you'll be spreading your colorful wings.
