PRESSUREPRESSUREPRESSURE

As teenagers, we're pressured a lot. We're expected to do and be many things. 
Like what? Well, there's school-related pressures. My mom always says "School is your job." She emphasizes on it a lot. Don't slack, don't wait till the last minute, work hard, study hard, blah, blah (if you read this somehow, mudder, I love you... you don't sound like "blah blah," you sound like "bruck yuh stupidee." =D ) Many of our parents want us to be doctors or lawyers. We just have to do well in school. Our entire lives depend on it, they say. If we slack now, we'll end up as a bum later. Pass the SAT and ACT with flying colors. Get Straight A's. God forbid, don't ever be late to class or get in trouble. There is a lot of pressure on good behavior in school.  Then, go to college and get a freaking awesome degree (in something practical, of course). 
 Needless to say, there's a lot of pressure from our parents, family, and teachers to exceed in school. Everything depends on it. I have to admit, I'm a little intimidated by all of it. I think many of us are. 
 Then, there's social pressures. Peer pressure. I can't really say I'm ever pressured into anything specifically. I suppose social pressures would include fitting in (not being too outrageous), being polite, not being too anti-social, not being too social or clingy.. There are typical examples of peer pressure such as "drink this! ALCOHOL IS FOR COOL PEOPLE" or "LET'S ALL GET HIGH. I BELIEVE I CAN FLLYYYYYYYYYYYY," but like my fellow Step-Up..er Claude says, not all peer pressure is negative. You could influence a friend to stop these bad habits as well. And, let's face it, we all attempt to sway people to do certain things. Social pressures such as not acting like a rude jerk isn't such a bad thing.
