Why is it that people tend to view peer pressure as mostly bad? Why is it that when your friends do wrong you tend to be placed in the same category as them? It isn't right or fair. In my school, some children do their work and others don't, but they all tend to mingle with each other. My school is a mixture of Spanish and African American culture. Because of the stigma attached to being a person of African decent or Spanish decent, the students tend to act the way they are portrayed. many students come in as great students, but some follow the wrong crowd which gives bad peer pressure, while others tend to try and change their friends bad behavior. Peer pressure isn't always bad, but it isn't always good either.
