Peer pressure can have a negative impact on students mentally and physically.

Many students have friends who pressure or influence the actions they make; however, some say they are never influenced by peers.

“Nobody can influence how I think because I’m going to think how I want to think regardless of what other people have to say,” said senior Nysheia Miller. “My friends are good influences on me because they have really positive mindsets,” said Miller.

“Some things my friends pressure me on is how to make better decisions for my future,” said Nysheia Miller.

“I don’t want to stop being pressured into [positive] things because they help me better myself,” said the senior.
