Why do you think people conform to peer pressure? What impact do you think this can have on an individual? Do you think you conform to peer pressure in any way?

People conform to peer pressure because as imperfect humans we don't always make the right decisions so people conform to peer pressure because they may feel left out or accused of not doing what others are doing. Impact? well peer pressure is common and devastating so its like a burned scar emotionally. Me? No due to my age I haven't been in that type of situation but soon I will and I hope I don't give in to pressure.

Peer pressure is conformed by people because they always don't make the right decisions. They also might feel left out or accused of not being able to do what their friends are doing. Peer pressure is common and devastating among teenagers and sometimes adults.
