I started this blog with no clue as to what I was doing, I'm still just taking shots in the dark occasionally. But, I think I have gotten the main point across, which is this.
From the moment a child starts making conscious decisions for him or herself, there will always be someone pressuring that child to do something; whether it be endorsing or against, for good or for bad. Over time, that child will hopefully learn how to handle this pressuring and not do the things that negative peer pressure tells him or her to do, and recognizes and accepts positive peer pressure. This will not always be the case, but it will hopefully become less of a problem if the child is surrounded by positive influences as he ages to adult-hood, and then continues to stay around people who won't pressure him or her to make the wrong choices.
It has been a good semester, and I hope that you have left this blog more aware of how peer pressure affects us all.
