"Peer pressure is like the air pressure in tires. Positive peer pressure pumps you up, supports you, helps you meet your goals, etc. Negative peer pressure takes
the air out of you, keeps you from going anywhere, causes accidents, jeopardizes your future, etc. Peer pressure can be a positive or a negative force in our lives-but it is our choice of peers that ultimately controls the kind of peer pres-
sure we are subjected to."
