Original:
As hundreds of kids enter high school each year almost every one of them is faced with peer pressure. All any of them is concerned about is fitting in. Teens feel pressured into following the crowd and becoming just like others in order to be accepted. Peer pressure can come in many forms such as drinking, drugs, stealing amongst other things putting their health or reputation on the line. Giving in to pressure is mostly caused by lack of confidence or isolation; naturally teens feel that social acceptance must have some catch to it, which causes them to engage in risky behaviors. Many often fall into the wrong crowd and change their personality just to click with others, while others risk themselves under the impression they will make friends only to be ridiculed. No one should feel that they have to do something they don’t want to in order to be liked.
