good question. in short, i believe in peer pressure but how someone is affected by it all comes down to the individual. some people are obviously easier swayed by others. not to mention, who's doing the pressuring? is it someone who wields great power over you or an incidental acquaintance? so, lots of variables, it'd be foolish of me to generalize. but i believe that friends do affect each other... both in positive AND negative ways. |

I think peer pressure comes in different extremes, for one person the thought of someone asking them to do drugs may just be an easy "no" but maybe if they're pressured to play some sort of prank they'll do that..I know,and im sure you guys do, sometimes you can be encouraged and know by doing something you can get a laughed, In a way i dont believe in peer pressure because if you have a mind you should be smart enough to think for yourself. |

Yeah. I reckon peer pressure can be a positive thing sometimes, I mean, like, being pressured to do a good thing by your friends and whatnot. Like, errr... going up to sing karaoke but not having the fish 'n' chips to do it until yer mates cheer you on and push you up on stage. Tee hee. Question: what's "peer pressure" called when it comes from someone you have romantic affection? I know you're "blinded by love" in a situation like this but I think this is a type of peer pressure as well, since you're more willing than not to go out of your way for something for someone you have a crush on, right? |

Well In my opinon we "don't" think for ourselves and merely act of input that has been subconciously drilled into our brain (which is just a cluster of nerves, just like when you tap your knee and kick only a lot more complex) so peir pressure is when you are having an "impulse" (aka. I don't wanna do drugs) and you say no, then the other guy says "come on, just once" and makes you want to do it to gain social acceptance, (another impulse) so you have two subconciuos impulses acting 1: self preservation, Don't wanna get screwed up over something, (practical jokes, doing drugs etc..) 2: moral preservation {wanna stay as a socialite among your friends(we are a "herd" animal after all)} so we conciously think for a second, (because our "sub" concious has been overloaded with two conflicting issues) and no matter which answer we come to we feel bad, because we have violated a nerve impulse, that is what peer pressure means to me, but then again, people are saying that I psychoanalyse to much, so maybe I'm just paranoid, Or maybe I just need more sleep, goodnight |
