Peer Pressure Statistics

So while searching for my next blog post topic, I found it in the form of a survey at Survelum.com. As it is only online and open to anyone, there is no guaranteeing the accuracy of the results, but they seem to be consistent with the points I have made and that others have made. While most of the really negative questions have "No" as the dominant answer (Illegal activities, etc), the questions like this one,

"Have you lied about liking something just because you thought your friends would make fun of you if they knew?"

have "Yes" as the highest answer. Other questions, like pressuring someone else into doing something, are almost equal in Yes and No answers. While only 436 people have taken the survey, it still should get the point across. Peer Pressure does affect decisions negatively, even for illegal acts. It's not exaggerated, and I hope that I have proved this to you throughout the course of this blog. Survey results found in the link below.
