      This website is extremley useful for my partner and I because it explains the consequences of peer pressure, which is our research subject. It is based on numerous, very credible researches such as the Zill research. It also explains the role that the parents have in preventing peer pressure as well as the factors that influence our generation to be much more pressured than the previous generation. Lastly, it explains that peer pressure does not only come from peers, but also from the parents' role and the role of media.
