In contemporary society, a highly competitive environment is not confined to the job market, it is throughout the entire society. There is one “word” refers to the pressure on young people, which is “peer pressure”. One topic now under debate is the effect of peer pressure. Some people argue that peer pressure has positive effects on young people, while others do not agree with this point of view. (In this essay, I would elaborate on both perspectives and reasons behind)

I tend to agree that peer pressure has positive effects on young people(based on the motivation). Peer pressure allows students to draw on others’ strengths in terms of educational fields. Each student has their own talents. As a friend group among different individuals, they may pursue others’ strengths due to the eager that they want to be accepted by their friends. This, in turn, applies themselves to chasing for a variety of abilities which have positive effects on them. Moreover, these high quality individuals make the society more diverse and booming as they have diverse abilities.

However, each individual has different mental resilience levels, especially teenagers who often are described as fragile mental resilience. When it comes to overwhelming peer pressure on teenagers, it can lead to mental issues. What’s more, if people are concerned about the factor that they cannot change, they would be anxious, and the hurdle may linger in their minds. For instance, people who feel unsatisfactory for their looks would be unconfident to do things that need to face public.

From my perspective, appropriate peer pressure would motivate young people to grow and acquire more acknowledge. It not only allows individuals to be intellectual but also allows the society to grow in all aspects.
