Answer:

Direct Negative Peer Pressure

Direct negative peer pressure is friends directly asking someone to do something. As you can imagine, this is a powerful form of peer pressure because it's much more difficult to resist. A teen is afraid of ridicule and losing his/her friend(s) if he/she doesn't do what is asked.

Indirect Negative Peer Pressure

Indirect negative peer pressure is not as powerful but can still greatly influence the decisions a teen makes. Indirect peer pressure is what one sees and hears other teenagers doing. Since others are wearing something or doing something, he/she should follow suit to fit into the group. No one necessarily asks someone to do anything, but it's an unspoken pressure that he/she feels.

This type may seem as though it would be easier for to resist but it's actually just as difficult because you may feel like it is not as "cool" if you don't do what the others are doing and it may make it more difficult to make friends.
