This is what we refer to as peer pressure -- the pressure to conform to the behaviors, attitudes, and personal habits of "the group." In many cases, there are serious risks involved. Let’s look at some common situations. Think about what you would do in each:


 * 1) "My friends told me about this party at this abandoned warehouse on Friday night. I know there’s going to be alcohol involved, and someone there is supposed to bring some marijuana. I don’t drink or do drugs, but I don’t want them to think I’m a loser."
 * 2) "This older guy at church that I really like smokes cigarettes. He keeps offering them to me and my friends. Last week my best friend Stacy smoked one with him."
 * 3) "My girlfriend keeps pleading with me to go all the way with her. She says "everybody’s having sex" these days, but I want to save myself for marriage. All of my friends have had sex, and I really like my girlfriend. I don’t want her to think I’m some kind of prude."

In all of these cases, your decision about how to handle the peer pressure can have great consequences:

What consequences have thought that could be presented from consuming alcohol or drugs?
 * 1) What if the cops bust the party at the warehouse and you are arrested? How would your parents react when the police call them? How would an arrest affect your college admissions or your reputation?
 * 2) As for the second example, it goes without saying how bad smoking is for your health, including the risk of lung disease, heart disease, and cancer. It's all too easy to get hooked on cigarettes.
 * 3) Speaking of long-term effects, you really have to think through what you’d do in the third example. Having sex even one time could leave your girlfriend pregnant. You’d have to change your life from student … to father. And what if you got a sexually transmitted disease? How would you cope if you found out you had gonorrhea or HIV?

 * Is Alcohol Abuse a Result of Peer Pressure? **
 * A lot of children start drinking in school only because they find it cool to do so. They know that alcohol isn't really good for them in large quantities, but getting sloshed is something you 'must' experience.
 * Similarly, most people who indulge in alcohol abuse have started drinking at a younger age. This shows us that if not alcohol abuse, the consumption of alcohol sure begins at an earlier age and again, due to peer pressure.
 * If the peers in your group offer you a drink and you say NO, you look stupid, right? Like a loser who hasn't got the guts to try something new. Children who don't behave in a manner that seems acceptable to the group they belong to, if they dont do what they say.
 * Sometimes, peer pressure also tells you that drinking is an escape route. This means that whenever you have a problem in your personal life, you can drink to get rid of it. Once you start drinking so casually and so frequently, you get addicted in no time.
 * Even in the elders, a person who doesn't drink at a party isn't really welcome. These people are teased and ridiculed many times, specially the men. Only a few can handle this pressure properly and ignore it. The rest, give in and start drinking themselves. The intensity of this pressure increases when in a married couple, the wife drinks and the husband doesn't. The husband then, as a revolt or to give company, might start drinking more than necessary.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Some people do not have the capacity to drink a lot and throw up in just a few bottles or pegs. These people are ridiculed by the other peers, who can drink a lot. The ridiculed then starts drinking more and more, only to show that they have the capacity to drink more as well. This leads to alcohol abuse.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Some people also think that 'it's okay' to behave in a particular manner if you are drunk. It is alright to say a few things and have a particular conduct after you are drunk. This psychological thinking leads to alcohol abuse.
