Comic about peer pressure
Peer Pressure (n.)- Pressure made from one's peers to behave like them or in a way they find acceptable. Don't let this happen to you! You should definitely be a trendsetter so people know not to pressure you. You don't want to be like everyone else! You want to be you own person in your own individual ways!!!
* Trendsetter- person who sets trends.
IF YOU ARE UNDER PEER PRESSURE.......YOU SHOULD deflate IT!
*Mabry will be fun! Be positive, and you'll do just fine! Good luck!*
