What would you do in a situation like peer pressure?

Most teenagers are exposed to a social phenomenon called peer pressure.
Peer pressure usually stems from a(מיותר) moral questions of either doing what you think is right, or doing something your peers pressure you to do(into doing).

Whether the peer pressure results in drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes or cutting classes, teens give in to bad behavior because they want to be like their friends, to look "cool" or to fit in. Others give in to peer pressure because they are afraid that other kids may make fun of them in a(מיותר) case they won't go along with the others.

It is possible to resist peer pressure and say "no". Paying attention to your own values and emotions can help you to know what is the right thing to do. Also, you can choose your friends carefully and try to be near people who don't pressure you to do things you know are wrong.

To sum up, I think that although peer pressure is a social manifestation that may happen to all of us, it's important to stay calm at this moment of the pressure(phr.) and to think what will occur if you will (no "will" after "if") say "no", or in case that you will(מיותר) just walk away. I believe that every one of us can escape the situation of peer pressure..

Now It's a great essay. Well done! (95)
