Peer pressure is when you are pressured by peers (people your age group) to do something good or bad, but people usually think of bad peer pressure when brought up (e.g. being pressured to take drugs).
Peer pressure can influence you to do either good or bad things, depending on what your peers are pressuring you to do! However, whenever peer pressure is the only motivation for your actions, it's a bad thing because it's preventing you from thinking for yourself and making your own choices.
Resisting peer pressure is important because it allows you to stay true to yourself, make decisions based on your values and beliefs, and avoid engaging in behaviors that may be harmful or go against your principles. Peer pressure can sometimes lead to negative consequences if you give in to it without considering your own well-being.

Well, that's hard to say considering when you hear "peer pressure" it comes off as a bad thing. But the worst I'd probably say would be sex peer pressure, drug peer pressure, and criminal peer pressure (as in breaking the law)

No, negative and positive peer pressure is different. For example: A teacher or a Supervisor may feel you have more inside of you for doing better in class or at work and will harass you into doing better and that's a good thing, but if someone is making you feel bad by destroying your character; making you afraid or threatened in any way this is negative peer pressure and classified as bullying.
A strong thesis statement on bad peer pressure could be: "Negative peer pressure can have detrimental effects on individuals, leading to risky behaviors, low self-esteem, and a compromised sense of identity. Understanding the underlying factors and developing strategies to resist negative influences are essential in promoting healthy relationships and personal growth."
you do drugs smoke get high and have sex under the age of 18...good enough for you?
Peer pressure is bad
It depends on the people you put yourself around. If you're around kids that constantly want to break rules and they're telling you to join in with it that's bad peer pressure, and honestly I haven't ever heard of good peer pressure. I'd guess it would be someone urging you to study for a test or something. I'm not sure, I just know that it depends on the people you put yourself around.
Peer groups can have negative effects such as peer pressure to engage in risky behaviors, influence to conform to negative attitudes and values, and potential for exclusion and bullying. Negative peer groups can also hinder personal growth and development by discouraging individuality and promoting harmful behaviors.
