Peer pressure is a powerful mental force that influences everyone, but tends to more strongly affect people in their teenage years. It can be both good and bad depending on what they are being pressured to do. Sports figures can be a positive influence, as kids try to perfect their skills and abilities to be more like them. Characters in the movies however, tend to influence kids to follow their footsteps in an attempt to do the impossible.
Peer Pressure Does Not Just Affect Kids Peer pressure is usually applied to younger people, especially teenagers. Adolescents are particularly vulnerable to peer pressure, because they are at a stage of development when they are separating more from their parents' influence, but have not yet established their own values or understanding about human relationships or the consequences of their behavior.
