Somewhat big one here. As shown in the textbook for this class, "Sociology: A Brief Introduction", teenagers having sex is a very common occurrence, and also a problem. Teenage pregnancy rates have increased over the last few years, as well as the number of abortions. Again, how is this relevant to Peer Pressure? Alone, a teenager might not want to have sex for multiple reasons. But if all of that teen's friends started doing it, it must be ok. If a girl's friends all are getting pregnant, isn't the logical choice for her to get pregnant as well, otherwise she would be the only one of her friends not to be?
Anyway, that's all I have to say for now. Again, link to rates and such is below.
