PEER PRESSURE Ms. Ritch Applied communitcations II By Nick Massoli

Are you feeling a little depressed? Or even a little down? Maybe you under a little pressure, peer pressure that is. peer pressure effects us all. More teenagers are effected though. Peer pressure is a social pressure by by a peer group to take a certain action and adopt certain values or otherwise conform in order to be accepted.

In General peer pressure effects about 75-80% of the people in the U.S.A. Most of the people just blow it off and don't care to conform. People in your peer group are th main people that make you feel pressured. You know like the people in your work, school or home. In school cliques are a major part of peer pressure. Those are the notorious preps, jocks, nerds etc.

Peer oressure played a big role in "The Crucible". In the beginning abigail forced Jhon into divorcing Elizibeth. Procter conforms to the regular norms and says no to commiting adultry. In the end of the story Danforth pressurs procter into telling the truth on whether he saw the devil or not. And since he wouldn't sighn the paper he was executed.

Now-a-days you see this peer pressure in highschools. This is a big time in everyones lives. I mean this is a time where people try to find themselves. So this is a time when other teens try to make anothere change into what they think is "cool". when sometimes its not what the others think.

So to conclude I will say that peer pressure has been around forever. Not just in highschool.Peer pressure is a hard thing to overcome. But if you have a strong will power you can overcome anything.
