It takes maturity to actually not be influenced by peer pressure.

@Fliafaith You can't, until they tell you so or unless you are that teen's parent and you know your child well enough to notice any change in their behaviour.

Peer pressure is not a trend that everyone who chose that path will be 'in' Teens have to think of what is the effect of this and that to their future before deciding on the matter.

I think if the peer pressure motivates you to do better it's the best thing. But if it's affecting one in a negative way just avoid those kind of situations and people. Hang around with people that affect you in a positive way.

I never had that problem growing up and I still don't. I am always satisfied with what I have and I am confident with what I do. I think my mom has something to do with how I deal with peer pressure. She would tell me how simple our lives were. That she can only give me so much. She tries her best and if she cannot meet what I wanted, she would say sorry to me. I grew up not wanting for anything. If I want something, I will work hard for it. Peer pressure is hard.

@Fliafaith The formula is be content with what you have. Do not and Never try to be anyone. You are your own self, your own person. If people don't want to take you as you are? It is their problem, not yours.

I dislike peer group pressure, as it leads to blind conformity and alienates anyone with a dissenting point of view

@Fliafaith yea it's not easy but we can try and teach our children at a young age.

very true, but you know most of them don't embrace that when they get afraid of leading, because they hate responsibilities, they just want to relax and be controlled.

The things you don't like, you should say no, in starting it seems to be rude bit later on it is good for you.

I am not yet exposed on a lot of these. I am a mother of a 12 year old, we are learning together. Peer pressure, it happend one time when they drink their first liquuor. I did not say anything about his friends nor scolded him. I just made him relize that anything he does he shall stand for the consequence. Its his decision no matter how his peers pressure him. He has to think on how his decision will affect him ONLY.
