Positive peer pressure is pressure to be a good person, pressure to be social, pressure to do well. This can be stuff like

  • picking up rubbish- if everyone else does it, other people will follow because they dont want to look wierd
  • going to a dance to socialise- if everone else goes, others will go to, making them becaome more social
  • If someones friends are nice to other people, it is more likely that you will be nice, whereas when your friends are mean, you might think that you have to act mean as well

Negative peer pressure

  • to sneak out of school with friends
  • talk back to teachers
  • be rude to parents and siblings

So basiclly, peer pressure is when you feel that you have to/ u r abliged to do certain things as a result of others doing the same :)
