The word "peer pressure" is not new to many of us and according to studies, it was shown that it is between the ages of 10-14 years that this feeling becomes more prominent because at that time, kids are often struggling with identity, acceptance and the rest, but in my country, it goes beyond this age bracket.
the effect of the peer pressure that is among teenagers between the ages of 14 to even 18 mostly centers around the fact that most of them are just fighting for acceptance and looking for what will look like their identity at that age. at that age bracket, the effect of that kind of pressure is not always all that felt but young adult that are at the age of independence feels it the most because at that age bracket, they are trying to meet up with the fast moving trend in the society and if care is not taking, it is at this stage that a lot of them end up joining negative things that destroys them in the long run.

fortunately for me, the effect of peer pressure as only stood to help me positively in that instead of settling for anything, the fact that the people around me who are my age bracket are upping their game always motivates me to try and do me and that has always given me the push that has kept me going and becoming better.
