Peer pressure is when people around you push you to do things you might not want to do. It can be strong physically and emotionally, especially among friends and age grades.

For instance, even if you're not interested in the new game your group is playing, you could feel excluded if you don't join in. Peer pressure can occasionally result in constructive behaviors like taking up a new interest or working harder in class. 

Nonetheless, it frequently encourages bad habits like smoking and skipping class. It's critical to recognize this pressure and exercise personal autonomy. It's better to be true to who you are, despite difficulties, than to fit in by going along with the majority. Recall that true friends will accept your choices, regardless of how they differ.
