Peer pressure is explained to build self-image, independence, and love and relationships, but not only necessarily those pressures there are many more for example decision making regarding sexual activity and drug and alcohol use is a big in today's society(Kaplan 16). If teens are struggling through trying to reach a goal and don't achieve it; its easier for advertisers to squeeze their way in to a adolescents life. Today industries are making millions of dollars off of the younger market. Since companies are having so many funds coming in they make it more appealing for the younger crowd to come in, and buy their products(Teenagers Themselves 70).

There are many different aspects of peer pressure. It can involves sex, drugs, alcohol, love and relationships, money and jobs, education and pressure for good grades, future plans, prejudice, racism, and stereotypes, and much more(Levinson 3) But their are also many other pressures that other teens face weather it being emotionally or physically. In recent surveys teens say that the biggest pressures today in school are dealin

diseases or make you pregnant (Seventeen 79) From personal experience I received a letter in the mail asking me to renew my subscription to a magazine, and the letter stated (Turn to example of letter Pg. 6 of report).

But now a days teens are growing up and realizing that all along it wasn't a advertiser caring about what is buyers feel or think, they just want their product sold. Now magazines are starting to show teens not to fall for ad gimmicks(see example Pg. 7)

ll over magazines such as Teen People, Seventeen, YM(Young and Modern), Teen, ads are placed all over with hair products, clothes, shoes, and the biggest make-up. Not just the ads are what causing these kids to be under pressure, the articles in them too. For example of a cover of magazine "Take this quiz and see if he really likes you," (Teen 57)or " What style are you,"(Teen People 38) or one that was unbelievable was "How far would you go."(YM 44) This quiz gave advise to go out and have a good time, and advised the person to get in to a little trouble, it will give you a high and make you feel good about your self.
