It is reasonable to say that every teenager can be affected by peer pressure (從眾心理) at some point.Everyday,in any high school,peer pressure has a major influence over the behavior of teenagers.It can be as subtle (微妙的) as being persuaded to be late for class or as extreme as a dangerous drug.Whether subtle or extreme,peer pressure can have damaging,some times life changing,and even serious results.
不可否認(rèn)每個年輕人或多或少都會受到來自同齡人的壓力的影響（從眾心理）.無論在哪所學(xué)校,這種壓力每天都主要影響著青少年的行為舉止.這些行為可以很微妙：在別人勸說下上課遲到；也可以很極端：例如教唆吸毒.無論程度輕重,從眾心理很可能造成傷害,改變?nèi)说囊簧?甚至是更嚴(yán)重的事情.
.“Teens don’t often consider the long-term results that some behavior can cause,” said Terri Price,a researcher.“Peer pressure can be very difficult to handle for many teens because of their fears of not fitting in”.Peer pressure has always been part of teen life,but teens experience it differently than their former generations did in the past.Sources of peer pressur e have increased because of the Internet and other electronic communications.
研究人員Terri Price說過：“年輕人很少考慮某些行為會導(dǎo)致的長期后果.因為害怕不能融入群體中,對于很多青少年來說從眾心理可能非常難控制住.”從眾心理一直以來都是少年時期的一部分,但相比他們的上一代,年輕人在這段時期感受到的東西可能會很不同.由于互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和電子通訊的發(fā)明,導(dǎo)致從眾心理的根源不斷增多.
Recognizing peer pressure can be as simple as noticing that you have been asked to do something that you are not comfortable with.“Listen to your instinct （直覺） ,which is a sign for whether something is right or wrong.If it feels wrong,then most likely it is.”says Price.Teens are in a time of life when they are still discovering who they are.Many teens are influenced by peer pressure because of their insecurities (不安全感).
意識到自己有從眾心理這一過程就像——發(fā)現(xiàn)被叫去做的事會使自己不舒服——那樣簡單.Price說：“傾聽你的直覺,這是辨別對于錯得信號.如果覺得不對勁,那基本上那就是那樣的.” 年輕人還在處在“找尋自己”這一人生階段.很多人都因為自身的不安全感而受同齡人壓力的影響.
This can make them helpless especially when their self-control is weak or they lack healthy support,causing them to take risky behavior or turn to unhealthy support.Dealing with peer pressure is a topic of concern for teens.People can say,“Just say no,” but the truth is that the statement is easier said than done.
這種影響可能會讓他們覺得無助,尤其是當(dāng)他們自我控制能力減弱或缺乏健康的關(guān)懷時,這會使得他們做出危險的舉動或?qū)で蟛唤】档膸椭?處理從眾心理是青少年關(guān)懷的一個重要話題.人們也許可以說：“對它只要說不就行了”,但是事實(shí)上說總比做來的容易.
