SteemAlive Presents: ProWritersHub. topic 5: Peer Pressure and How i can handle it?
I'm in a Peer pressure mood
Introduction
Every day I come around and find my fellow steemians gives me joy and happiness knowing that someone is there to read and comment on my post.
talking about peer pressure it is when you are convince to do or act in a certain way you wouldn't want or like to do. May be by Friends or other wise.
why is peer pressure common
Peer pressure is common in our society to day due to the kind of friends we keep around us so we want to belong because his or her friend belong without knowing the implications some are due to the condition of life. But there are some peer pressure that is good to emulate I mean the positive side of peer pressure.
example of peer pressure are:
Nagetive peer pressure are maybe keeping late at night,smoking cigarettes, or drinking too much alcohol because your friends does, some are belonging to cultists and all manner of bad companies at the end you regret. While the positive side of it is trying to influence the life of others cheering the need to connect with others, no matter our age, group or personality in life. Inspiring some ones life in a good way, and given a sense of belonging wether at home or in the community.
how can I handle peer pressure?
Peer pressure can be controlled if only you follow your heart stand by your words let your yes or no stand firm. Incase it happens to be violent attcks instead of you to retreat back the best option is to report it to the higher authorities.
conclusion:
Since we are in the the world peer pressure will continue to exist no matter what wether in a positive way or negative way but what matters is self control do not peers or emulate what you do not understand mostly teenager some of them does because they saw thier friends doing it, some do so that they belong after that they find it difficult to leave. Instead let your peers or emulation be on the positive side.

Hi @ogechukwu-matter
You did well in participating in this contest especially this topic peer pressure. A lot of young ones have been persuaded by their peer to do what is bad. Why many do not give in to peer pressure.

Thank you steemcuratoro9 I will keep on doing my best.
Peer pressure is not a good thing, if done with negative intentions, and that can be a result of having negative friends.
Peer pressure can be negative but at times positive only if we follow friends that have the same believe with us

Oge oge. Keep it up. Yes oo peer pressure must exist is left for us to make the right choice by following the right group
I strongly agree with you, cause some people are always unable to say NO when they are being pressured to do something illegal or bad.
This your peer pressure mode is disturbing oh.
We all have been tempted to do 1 or 2 bad things by our peers. Thanks for participating
Getting to joined your friend or friends habits or general lifestyle because , of what you getting like from him or her and knowing fully well . Such style is negative . Good all things in live is a choice . Would always nice to emulate good side and prioritized positive aspect of peer pressure.
