Peer pressure can arise from your own self. -a. peer pressure can affect anyone, of all ages. b. at times, the pressure to fit in with others comes from oneself, even if the group has no such expectations of you. it may be because feeling different from everyone else is hard, and this may be especially so when we are trying to adjust and adapt to new environments. c. although we may be exposed to peer pressure, whether this translates into our actions is ultimately up to our own decisions. d. standing up for our own beliefs, and feeling comfortable about who we are in various environments whatever the situation can help in tackling peer pressure.
