Pure Pressure

The Issue

Growing up I've noticed that peer pressure has been overlooked. Due to the fact that a lot of people not speaking up. There are a lot of signs of peer pressure that most adults should be looking out for. Moreso in a school setting. I believe parents should be taught as well, on how to find practices of peer pressure when it is happening. Simply looking for a gang of kids huddled around one. Or watching the body language of one. (EX: being uncomfortable, uncommon hand gestures going towards a certain person.) 

I would like to point out how majority of the time they show practices of peer pressure in movies. That can be a start. We can study what peer pressure looks like in a movie. Than begin to learn about it in the real world. A lot of people have lost their lives concerning peer pressure. This is why I feel the need to address this issue. Not to mention I was a victim of peer pressure as well.
