Peer pressure refers to the

influence exerted by a peer group.

Peer pressure can cause people to do things they would not normally do, e.g. take drugs, smoke, get a girlfriend, marry, have a job, get children, buy expensive items they don't really need (cars, houses, boats), etc.

Popular adolecents are the most socialized into their peer groups and thus are vulnerable to peer pressures, such as behaviors usually reserved for those of a greater maturity and understanding, such as the use of drugs.

Regardless, social acceptance provides more overall protective factors than risk factors.

Most people expect that socially accepted children fare the best in high school.
