Peer Pressure
One day Jonny walked into class with his favorite blue jeans on. They went up to his ribs and cut off at his ankles. He also had his crazy plaid shirt on, tucked into his pants. When Nick walked into the class and saw Jonny, he yelled to him,” hey Jonny you have a pretty crazy style!” Then Nick turned off to the side and laughed with some of his friends. Jonny went home that day and threw his pants in the trash, even though they were his favorite pair. From that day on, he vowed to himself to never wear the pants ever again and to never wear pants above his waist. Even though those were Jonny’s favorite pants, and he has the right to wear them, he never will because of the peer pressure at school to look like something he is not.
Having your freedom means you can dress how you want, act how you want and talk how you want. However, in this world you are pressured to be something you are not. I think if you want to go to school in your pajamas, then nobody has the right to tell you how to dress and to go home and change your clothes. I also think if you want to hang out with your real friends, then nobody has the right to call you a nerd, weirdo, and names like that. Peer pressure should defiantly be changed.
To change the peer pressure people give, would take a long time. In order to change it, you would have to convince people that everyone has the right to be whoever they want to be. If peer pressure were to be changed then everyone would be happy because they could be who they want to be. Also, everyone wouldn’t judge people so everyone would be friends.
In every school in America there is some sort of peer pressure. To give in to the peer pressure, it is not showing who you really are, and if you are not being who you really are then you are not happy and you lose the freedom of who you really are. If peer pressure would just stop then the world would be a much better place.
