The topic I think I am going to write about for my Common Place paper is peer pressure. I want to talk about how it affects everyone at college, whether it is a good or bad form of peer pressure. I want to discuss what classifies someone as a leader versus a follower and how the leaders cause the peer pressures on others. Also, I want to discuss why someone stand up for what they believe in and how they should learn to think for themselves. From experience, I know that some people give into peer pressure because they want to feel “cool” and accepted among their peers. I want to also talk about how peer pressure can make a person stronger and even push them to become a leader. There are many forms of peer pressure such as abuse or bullying in order to get people to follow what you want them to do. I want to talk about people compromise their morals and values when placed under peer pressure. I also want to mention how the people and friends around you affect your decisions and may even cause you to do things you never thought you would do. I want to talk about how you get to decide your life and how it plays out to an extent and how you need to be smart about who your friends are in your life. I would like to talk about being proud of who you are and not letting people change you for the worst. Also, right versus wrong plays a part in peer pressure as well. This is just a work in progress, who knows I might change my idea.
