　　Friends of contemporaries(同龄人) are a great influence on the actions, thoughts, and words of young people. This influence, known as peer(同等之人) pressure, is quite common among children. Why are children so easily affected by what their peers do, think, or say?

　　Most of us, children included, feel a strong need to be liked by others. We seek acceptance and friendship. In order to gain them, we act like our friends and listen to their advice, whether or not it is helpful. Some of us even begin to think like our friends, sometimes at the expense of our own beliefs and values. An example that comes to mind is the young person who gets involved with drugs because his peer group is experimenting with them. Parents may try to put pressure to keep him away from drugs, but often peer pressure is too great. This conflict(冲突) between being your own person and, at the same time, responding to(作出反应) the pressures of a group remains a problem for young people.
