4. Peer Pressure
Peer pressure (or social pressure) is influence on observers, or
an individual who get encouraged to follow others by
changing their attitudes, values, or behaviours to conform to
those of the influencing group or individual. Social groups
affected include both membership groups, in which
individuals are "formally" members (such as political parties
and trade unions), and cliques in which membership is not
clearly defined. However, a person does not need to be a
member or be seeking membership of a group to be affected
by peer pressure.

1 John 2:15-17
Love not the world, neither
the things that are in the
world. If any man love the
world, the love of the
Father is not in him. For all
that is in the world, the lust
of the flesh, and the lust of
the eyes, and the pride of
life, is not of the Father, but
is of the world. And the
world passeth away, and
the lust thereof: but he
that doeth the will of God
abideth for ever.
