Peer Pressure

Peer pressure is a common situation that mostly effects teenagers all around the world.
It makes someone do different things then(sp.) he thinks right(phr.), Most of the time by other popular people in his environment. In many schools teachers try to learn teach your their kids not to be dragged by other kids and do things which they think are right.

More Pupils and teenagers give in to a peer pressure and do wrong actions just to be popular and have friends. I think it's wrong because someone that trying to act like someone else won't find real friends and live with a bad feeling that he needs to placate(ww.) the community.

In addition, giving in to peer pressure reduces self confidence. It is very hard to succeed without self confidence, Sometimes it effects the person so strongly that he has to use pills to be cured. Another reson(sp.) is that peer pressure can change the person's life and he will never do what he want(gr.) to, and can understand it after a long time.

To sum up I think that peer pressure is a manifestation we should avoid and not give in to . If we learn how to block the feeling that the peer pressure create(gr.) we will be ourselves. - It's not very clear what exactly you mean in your last sentence.

HomeWork, again?

HomeWork is the way of teachers all around the world t0 make sure their pupils remember the material that is taught in class. Sometimes kids dont prepare the work right or even dont start it at all and the angry teacher just marks a (-) in his notebook.

On the one hand, completing homework will make sure that You remember all the material and are ready for the test. It helps if you practice the last things taught in class and helps the teacher move on to a new subjects faster. Most times the teachers don't finish teaching everything they planned.

On the other hand, Homework is boring and exhausting. Sometimes even confusing. For instance, if a new subject is taught, pupils may have difficulties completing homework, dealing with that very same subject. It might lower a student's self confidence or self esteem.

To sum up, I think teachers should give homework to pupils, but not every day and not too much. Just give enough in order to make sure they won't forget and be prepared for the next lesson.
