Peer Pressure Facts

  • Ignorance

People who think that they are unintelligent, unpopular and unattractive are more vulnerable to peer pressure statistics because their acceptance is not approved. Slowly they start losing their “self-image” and it gradually pushes them into this situation.

  • Fear

The fear of being ridiculed by friends, colleagues or people whom we think are superior to us often makes us think about our lack of ability to do unbecoming activities .it forces us to do such kind of things for which we are not comfortable at doing.the most common examples are getting involved in vulnerable activities like smoking, drinking, partying, drug addicts etc. “these activities would only ruin us”.This fear forces us to take wrong decisions and after taking decisions based on the decisions or thoughts of peers may take us to a way of “wrong decisions”.These decisions may take us in a land of sorrow.

Some ways to handle peer pressure

How To Deal With Peer Pressure

  • Pursue your own interests

  Hang out with people especially with your family who like doing the same things you do. Spending time with family help you to a belief in yourself because this is the best style to manage and when you know your interests no one can pressurize you in any situation.

  •  Say ‘no’

 If you can coolly explain why something‘s not for you, you’ll gain respect. I don't really feel comfortable doing it because sometimes your mind tells you this is not really the right thing to do or you might see there are definitely long term effects that might hurt you or you just don't really feel to compile to do it.

  • Friends don’t have to agree on everything

Understanding that everyone has their own view means you can chill out and feel less defensive. Regarding someone else’s choice may help them respect yours.so make friends who will help you or teach you to do the right things.


I think that way to fit in when you were born to stand out. Fight against teenager peer pressure people either inspire you or they drain you, choose wisely. It is always better to walk alone than with a crowd that is going in the wrong direction." DO WHAT YOU FEEL IS RIGHT AND SHINE BRIGHTER".
