Many overlook it, others pretend it doesn't exist, and some act like they are so hard and unshakable and that their friends or peers don't have any influence on them whatsoever. But none of us are superhumans and none of us have that absolute power when it comes to pressure from peers, society, neighbors, families, etc.
It is best to be on guard, it is best to protect yourself from the scratch, and it is best to keep an open mind, and be in the know. Don't overestimate yourself, and neither should you force things that ain't supposed to be. Peer pressure is as real as it gets and it doesn't only happen to the youth but to the aged too.
You can protect yourself and your mind best when you let yourself understand that you are not beyond the influence of those around you, then the next thing you will have to do is to guard your mind or emotions, know what you truly want and stick to it, assess everything that comes from others well before you agree to it.

Don't just do things because everyone is doing it, know your roots, understand where you are coming from, let knowledge and wisdom guide you, do a lot of research about everything and anything before you take a step, and be sure to allow yourself to correct things should you make mistakes or fall prey to pressures. Remember you are only human.
