Peer pressure only becomes harmful when you’re surrounded by the wrong people.

The problem isn’t the pressure, it’s what you’re being pressured to do.

If your friends push you to grow, stay disciplined, or aim higher, that’s a good thing.

But if they pressure you into lying, cutting corners, or doing things that hurt you or others, that’s when it becomes toxic.

Choose people who bring out the best in you, not the worst.
