People who are about the same age as you are your peers. Peers include your friends and your classmates. They have strong influence on your actions. Your peers influence how you think, how you act, and even how you dress. Peer pressure is the influence that people of the same age have on one another.
Sometimes your peers influence you in a helpful or positive（积极的）way. A friend may notice that you have problems in math. And he might invite you to join a study group or show you how to solve a difficult problem during lunch. Such actions are helpful to you.
Sometimes your peers influence you in a negative or unhealthy way. A friend might offer you cigarettes（香烟）．Cigarettes are harmful to your health. Your friend knows that. Your friend also knows that underage smoking is against the law. Yet he or she still makes the offer. This bad influence is negative peer pressure.
Your peers may not always realize they are influencing you in a negative way. For example. a friend might invite you to the movies. You would love to go, but you have a lot of housework to do. In situations like this you should make a wise decision.
