It is true that people always have debates about if pressure from colleagues can lead better result or worse outcome especially in younger generation. Both these views have their own logical reasons, from my perspective, peer pressure has a positive impact on young people.
To begin with, pressure allows teenagers enhance their ability and improve their performance at school work. Since competitive allows students pay more attention on their school work and care more about their performances, therefore having appropriate pressure let students enhance their ability of bearing difficulties. For instance, when I was in high school, I needed to take a quiz every week, our teacher even showed our scores to everyone, as a result I felt I was under pressure that I had to get a perfect grade on my test, or I would feel quite embarrassed. In that case, every students in our class tend to spend most of our spare time on studying and reviewing. That’s the reason why I believe peer pressure can lead a positive impact on young people.
While some maybe argue that over pressure may let students suffer from mental problems. There is no denying that if students feel an overwhelming amount of pressure from his classmates, they may feel depressed and hopeless. However, nowadays students have various activities can join this allow them feel relax and less stressed. Take my friend for example, when we were in high school, she felt that she couldn’t catch up with our classmates so that she always felt her school life was meaningless and skipped classes, however she found she was able to have relief when enjoying in tennis, she started to deal with these pressures as well as back to school with a positive attitude.
To sum up, although over peer pressure may lead younger generations feel stressful, I still believe appropriate pressure allow students be more competitive and have better performance on their school work.
