PEER PRESSURE

The most common type of peer is Direct Negative Peer Pressure. This is when a "friend" (peer) actually tries to force you into doing something negative (adolescence risk taking like deliquency, drugs, reckles driving, sexual behavior...)

This can become extremely hard to resist due to the fact that if someone is affilliated with a group of people that take part in your activities, eventually they´ll give in to it and do whatever they´re asked to fit in. Sometimes the consequence of not giving in to it is to, not only be judged and kicked out of the group, but in more extreme cases, assaulting or hurting that person.
