I know it's a form of peer pressure, but it's a good peer pressure. BTW kids, there actually is such a thing.
Quoted from an article in
La Pietra.
"Even though most people see peer pressure as all bad, there is such thing as good peer pressure. When teens depend on their peers for guidance, sometimes they do get the right answers. However, it is important to choose the correct friends. Teens with similar interests will mean, more time together. Also, friends who do well in school, have respect for others, and donââ¬â¢t do drugs, drink, or smoke can influence other teens to make the right choices. Groups, who influence others not to do those things, can join together and prevent bullying. This is an example of positive peer pressure. Friends can encourage each other to participate in activities or play on sports teams. Sports can help them discover who they are.
Positive peer pressure encourages helping each other with homework or projects in school. Friends who are active in the community provide an excellent role model. If friends are making the right choices, then so will the teen. Teens need to choose their friends based on the proposition that the person will help them to become a better person. If so, they should become their friend. Unfortunately, we only hear about the results of negative peer pressure. Sadly enough, there is more negative than positive pressure. There should be more exposure of positive peer pressure, so teens can see that it does exist and be encouraged to do the same."
