Getting high off life is more than enough, and peer pressure ain't peer pressure when a boy is tough.

Kool Moe Dee

Ultimately peer pressure can lead people to bully, but peer pressure can also say bullying is not acceptable.

Barack Obama

The best kind of accountability on a team is peer-to-peer. Peer pressure is more efficient and effective than going to the leader, anonymously complaining, and having them stop what they are doing to intervene.

Patrick Lencioni

How you handle peer pressure - the pressure your children feel as well as the pressure you feel - in the early years will play a significant role in how your children handle peer pressure when they become adolescents.

Charles D. Hayes

We warn our children and grandchildren about peer pressure. We want them to say no to the vices of the world: drinking, drugs, and other destructive behaviors. But as we move from childhood to adulthood, we find the peer pressure changes. Daniel 3:2 notes "the satraps, the administrators, the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces" were there. I'm sure more than one of them thought they needed to keep their job with all of its benefits. Not much has changed in two-and-a-half millennia.

O. S. Hawkins

Peer pressure is just that: pressure.

Sandy Berger

That kind of peer learning, that peer teaching, that peer evaluation, and then administration of insight.

Michael Eric Dyson

Just because so many conforming kids wake up every morning asking, 'What is everybody else going to wear today?' doesn't mean that they don't wish it were different. Peer pressure is just that: pressure.

Jerry Spinelli

Hermits have no peer pressure.
