At some point in everyones life we’ve been pure pressured to do something. Whether we like it or not we will have to make a decision when the opportunity presents itself. We have to choose between right and wrong. Peer pressure in teens is particularly interesting because teens make decisions with a brain that isn’t fully developed. Unlike an adult’s brain, a teens brain has many changes to undergo some of which shape the way how teens problem solve, interact, and understand the environment around them. During these critical stages of a young adults life it is extremely important that they are able to interact and experiment with the world around them. It is important to point out that a teen should experiment in a safe and positive environment. Peer pressure can be a good and bad thing depending on what an individual is being pressured to do. For example if a teen is being pressured by five of his or her friends to walk a 6k fun run assuming the individual is in good health and a good state of mind this wouldn’t really be considered peer pressure it would be considered more along the lines as motivation. On the other hand if a teen is pressured to steal an item from a store then that’s when it crosses the line. Peer pressure in most cases in not a good thing and you should always be aware of the consequences of your actions. There are many ways to cope with this pressure the best advise I can give you is the listen, assess, and decide the the situation. Listen to what is being asked of you to do. Then assess the question is this something I am capable of doing or should I do it. Lastly decide based off the information you have gathered should you or should you not do it. What are some consequences of my actions.
the author convinces the reader that the match was the most wonderful thing in the world by telling the reader about the history of the match and how fire became. The text supports this by saying "John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions.".
