Peer pressure is one of the easiest traps to fall into when it comes to living a pure and/or holy life. Now i'm home schooled so I'm really that experienced, but i have friends and parents. Peer pressure can also come from your parents maybe to grow up faster. Not all peer pressure is bad. Peer pressure that persuades people to do right is considered good peer pressure. You will be exposed to peer pressure in almost every area of your life. As you get older you will feel peer pressure from school and when your with your friends. As adults you will feel peer pressure at work and in your relationships. The peer pressure you experience is affected by the people you surround yourself with in your life. Now my friends are all from church and they make good choices ( I'm not saying your friends are bad). Now we all make bad choices there's no way around that but some of us make better choices than others. (Again i'm not saying your friends make bad choices). You'll hear a lot about peer pressure from some adults who are responsible for influencing you. i was sitting here thinking peer pressure is blamed on a lot of things most of them being underage drinking, sexual activity, and other destructive things if you have any others feel free to put them in my comment section.
30% of teens are offered drugs in high school and middle school
3.1 million teenagers smoke cigarettes
almost 50% of kids ages 12-18 feel pressured to have sex in their relationships.
32% of kids try their first drink before the age of 13
Put in my comment box some bad peer pressure that you've experienced or seen your friends experience.
Then put some good peer pressure.
info found from a book from a purity conference.
