Peer pressure not always negative

Peer pressure is something college students face throughout their college careers.

Peer pressure is when someone decides to involve themselves in something, not because they want to but because of their peers.

Peer pressure can be a good and in some cases both good and bad.

There are various types of pressure students may experience. Some may experience peer pressure to receiving good grades, getting involved with clubs, and sports team, or even skipping classes to hang with friends.

At first these were peer pressures I thought that students experienced in high school, but even after college the person may still experience these types of pressures.

In my opinion, pressure itself is something that everyone will experience throughout their life.

The reason I say that is because there are economic pressures, parental pressures and job pressures. This is something everyone will be experiencing all their lives.

It is just a matter of if you decide to cave into the pressures and become like everyone else you are following.

Sometimes I find even myself caving in to the pressures of parental pressures.

I have to admit, the main reason I am even pursuing the career in health is because it is something I know for sure my mother would be proud of and of course I love the field also.

Only the outcome of this parental pressure is a great one, I get to make my mother proud while pursuing a career we both love.

I guess what I am trying to say is I only support pressure if the outcome is going to be a good one.
