Peer pressure should not be allowed because it may lead to poor choices for the person experiencing it. Many kids entering high school or middle school begin to experience all different types of peer pressure. Whether he is encouraging you to join the choir, dance, or dance. But sometimes your friends can push you to try very dangerous things. For example, drugs, alcohol and challenges that lead to very harsh consequences. This is one of the most difficult problems a teenager will face. They feel that if they don't do this they are no longer part of the "group". It's not always someone physically talking to you and telling you to do it. Some are caused by the media. Society shows it to us on television, in magazines, and advertising, this is in. But that's not the case Just to be someone they think their friends will love more, or just to fit in. One of the main factors that are harsh in the world of bourgeois life, with its premium placed on appearance, ability and ambition. According to the New York Times "Teens, Friends and Bad Decisions," teens and peer pressure have a distinct effect on brain signals involving risks and rewards, helping to explain why young people. they are very likely to misbehave and take risks when their friends are watching. They begin to feel excluded, unwanted. But when they seem to talk about how much fun they have doing it, you can just feel but not relate they start to give up and give in to the dangerous situations their friends are experiencing. Another example is the book "Go Ask Alice". Alice was once a shy and innocent girl who was sucked into the world of drugs due to her need to be accepted. With teenagers feeling alone and no one there to help them, they won't do anything... middle of paper... with kids to dance with. Liz felt alone but soon a boy approached her and started talking. He asked her to go to a quiet place with him to talk. She said no, but the guy continued to try to pressure her to be with her alone. When Liz's stomach gave out he took her out into the garden where no one could even hear them leave because of the loud music. The guy ended up raping Liz and no one came to help her because no one could hear her. “Think about who your friends are whoever you are or will become. You don't need anyone to tell you how to feel. There is so much more the world has to reveal to you. “We all need to take responsibility for our actions. What it seems a good idea at the time, or maybe not so good, but accepted could very well end up backfiring on you. Then the problem will be yours and no one else's.”- The Guide to Peer Pressure
