Peer pressure plays an important role in schools. No matter how much we deny it everyone knows that at least once in school we have been tempted to do something by our peers. A perfectly well behaved student can be uninfluenced by the wrong crew. Most kids decide to fit in whether it is with their social group or in society. Therefore the feeling of embarrassment or awkwardness is not wanted. For example, a kid that is out late with friends who has a project due is influenced by his friends being told it is not important or that they are a “nerd”. Kids everywhere are influenced, at a younger age today. Girls in elementary school are influenced by needing to have the same hairstyle. If not they are “weird”.
