11/21-Discussion peer pressure-Antony

The topic of peer pressure has become increasingly important in today’s society, with many people holding different opinions. Some argue that peer pressure has positive effects on young people, while others believe that it has more negative effects. In this essay, I will discuss both perspectives and provide my own opinion on the matter.

Firstly, those who support the idea that peer pressure has positive effects on young people often argue that peer is one of the biggest strength to change a young people and form a competitive environment. For instance, when I study at high school, I always study hard to get the top three at every exam. Before tests, me and some classmates(classmates and I) study together and asked some quizzes with each other every time. I believe that this is the reason why we can progress(improve) very much. This personal experience shows that peer pressure can form a competitive environment.

On the other hand, others believe that peer pressure has more negative effects.(,) Because it will also result in some potential mental health concerns. For example, recently, more and more young people are determined that have too much mental pressure from peer relationship.(Increasing adolescents are reporting the mental issue, such as depression and over-stress, resulting from peer pressure) (Example)

In conclusion, while there are valid arguments on both sides of the debate surrounding peer pressure, I believe that the pressure from peers will bring more positive effects for young people. Because it is such a good chance to learn and know more about yourself while addressing different situations and problems stem from peer pressure. Eventually, all of them will help young people to bulid a strong and health mind.
