087 – Peer Pressure

Today I am going to talk about peer pressure. Peer pressure has probably gotten guys into more trouble than anything else in the world. Seriously, when people take drugs or alcohol for the first time it is usually because of peer pressure. When guys do stupid things that send them to jail…it’s usually because of peer pressure. When guys wind up permanently maimed or dead…it is usually because of peer pressure. So…why is that? Why will people so readily and so often act in ways contrary to their own common sense just because they are encouraged by a group of their peers to do so? It’s obviously a very powerful thing, this peer pressure.
