Peer pressure can influence people of all ages to change their behavior, attitudes, habits, and appearance in order to conform to group norms and be accepted. It might involve verbal or mental intimidation to force compliance with a group's code of conduct. People are naturally inclined to belong to social groups and may feel pressure to fit in, which could potentially result in negative views of outsiders or manipulation by the group. It is important to choose friends wisely, develop self-esteem, think independently, and learn to say no to peers in order to avoid being unduly influenced.
