Pure pressure is not beneficial in most cases. Pure pressure can get you into trouble as a kid, and adult. Pure pressure is one of the first dominoes to fall in the long line of dominoes. For example: Someone cool is cutting class with his buddies, he pressures you to go because it will be fun and you want to go because he is cool. If someone finds out, it lowers your grade in that class, you get into trouble, and you loose trust from that teacher. The hole just keeps getting deeper. What it can lead to ** Giving into peer pressure can lead to most consequential punishments. Like: · Doing drugs · Doing alcohol · Jail time · Kicked out of school · Bad grades · Wrong friends · Injuries to yourself mentally/physically · Loose trust
 * Why Pure Pressure is Bad **

Just say no. If one of your friends tried to pressure you to do something you don’t want to do, just say no! If they repeatedly ask you over and over, say that you think you first choice was the best one, NO! Just don’t give in and you’ll be fine.
 * Say NO! **


 * Quotes from the book **

Nurse, "Romeo is banished; and all the world to nothing that he dares ne'er come back to challenge you; or if he dare do, it needs must be stealth. Then, since the case so stands as now it doth, I think it best you married with the county." The Nurse is trying to pressure Juliet into marrying Paris. But Juliet is the role model and does not give into the pressure.

Bevolio, "At this same ancient feast feast of Capulet's sups the fair Rosaline whom thou so loves; with all the admired beauties of Verona. Go thither, and with unattainted eye compare her face with some that i shall show, and i will make thee think thy swan a crow." Bevolio pressures Romeo to go to the Capulets party and states he will find a girl that is way better than Rosaline.
