**Who are the promoters of Fashion Pressure?** **When you were a little kid, your parents usually chose your friends, putting you in playgroups or arranging playdates with certain children they knew and liked. Now that you're older, you decide who your friends are and what groups you spend time with.** **Your friends ,your peers, are people your age or close to it who have experiences and similarities too. You and your friends make lot´s of decisions every day, and you influence each other's choices and behaviors. This is often positive, it's natural to listen and to learn from other other´s.****As you become more independent, your friends naturally play a greater role in your life. As school and other activities take you away from home, you may spend more time with peers than you do with your parents and family members.Youl probably develop close friendships with some of your peers, and you may feel so connected to them that they are like an extended family.**

Peers influence your life, even if you don't know-realize it, just by being with you all the time. You learn from them, and they learn from you. It's normal to listen and to and learn from other´s.
===Peers can have a positive influence on each other. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in the solar system, or someone on the soccer team taught you a cool trick with the ball. You might admire a friend who is always a good sport or good at school (all subjects) and try to be more like him or her. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book, and nowreading it. These are examples of how peers positively influence each other every day.=== ===Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a some kids may not like a person and tell bad things to you so you meet her, your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass her the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him.===

** Why Do People Give in to Peer Pressure? **
===Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in on the society, or because they worry that other kids might make fun of them if they don't go along with the group. Others go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing ir for just for being accpted by its friends. The idea that "everyone's doing it" can influence some kids to leave their better judgment, or their common sense, behind.Kids which are desesperated for fitting in on the sociaty will do whatever to fit in on it so they will be compelled by anything that their "friends " if we can call them like this just for getting in, and by making this they can cause some mayor consequences.=== 

**---**
I think that Fashion Pressure function in different ways: -Friends can influence you to change. -Your parent´s put pressure on you to get the results they want of your life. -Sometimes you want to change because you think you need to be perfect and you are doing what the other person do without nobody forcing you to do it. -Teacher´s can put pressure on you if you aren´t good at school.

Having this bad influences can get change people´s personality, attitude, way of thinking our imagination, and might be on purpose or unpurpose.

Fashion Pressure affects between 10-18 years because they are in a teenage age were they want to have good body (diets-Anorexia,Bulimia), being accepted (changing personality) etc...This teenage life they are living in this moment people of this ages worried about what people think, and depending on friends thoughts they decide to change or not mattering about what they said and continue their life.
