Every now and then in school, or at work even, you get pressured by other people. What they are pressuring into is as small as asking a guy/girl out to really dangerous ones as doing a drug or bringing a gun to school.

Anyways, how much of a pain was your adolescence when it came to peer pressure?

I accept answers from teens as well as adults.

My friends wanted me to ask someone to the Sadie Hawkin's Dance last year and I finally gave into it. I asked the guy and he said yes but the whole situation was awkward after that. I'm never doing that again. Ugh. Never give into peer pressure.

oddly enough, peer pressure has never been something that i respond to.

I haven't really been peer pressured, but that really only says anything about my lack of contact with my peers. :dwarf:
