Assignment #2

1. In the selection called "Peer Pressure" George states that "friends have more influence on one another's lives than almost anyone else does, especially in those teenage years when kids are trying to discover who they really are. So hooking up with the wrong crowd can really get you down."Do you agree with his comments? Why or why not? Have you seen other people try to pressure their friends to do things? (Good or bad) Have you felt pressure to behave in certain ways because of your friends? I do agree with this statement because your friends are the main people you share your feelings and thoughts with. When your friends have an idea to do something you usualy are going to go along with it. I have seen people pressure their friends into doing things both good and bad. Friends have the power to force you into doing things you dont want to do, but do anyways because they are doing it. I have had many situations in which I have been pressured to do something, or to go anlong with my buddies.
