Is peer pressure a kind of pressure you put on youtself to fit in
Answers
Answer:
Wanting to feel part of something can put pressure on you to act in certain ways. If you’re doing something you wouldn’t normally do, or are not doing something you’d like to do, simply so that you’ll be accepted by the people you hang out with, you’re suffering from peer pressure.
Peer pressure can influence:
the way you dress or wear your hair
the activities you get involved in
the music you listen to
your decisions about using drugs and alcohol
who you date
who you’re friends with.
The pressure to act in a certain way can be:
direct: someone telling you what you should be doing
indirect: your group of friends might do certain activities together that you’re unlikely to do outside of that group
self-motivated: putting pressure on yourself to fit in with your friendship group, because of certain standards they’ve set or comments they’ve made.
