Most people faced peer pressure when they were young, many outgrow the pressures while others continues in the lifestyles, many habits like gambling, smoking, drinking and pilfering starts from peer pressure. I don't think that it is easy to learn new habits when someone is older, it is mostly something that they have experience before. Most kids rates how smart they are by stealing from supermarkets, they will brag about how smart they are if they were not caught, if they don't outgrow the habit and leave it they will become criminals in their older years.
