Question

which statement describes peer pressure?
○ a teen lets her friends give her used makeup even though she is worried about passing germs.
○ a teen decides not to drink alcohol at a party even though she sees other people drinking.
○ a teen lets his friends know how much their support means to him even though he does not have to.
○ a teen decides to go to a party and makes some new friends there even though he did not think he would.

Explanation:

Peer pressure is the influence from peers to conform to their behavior or choices, even if one has concerns. In option A, the teen accepts used makeup from friends despite worrying about germs, showing she's influenced by peers (conforming to their offer) against her own concern. Option B is resisting peer influence (others drinking, she doesn't). Option C is expressing gratitude, not related to peer pressure. Option D is about making new friends, not peer pressure - related conformity.

Answer:

A. A teen lets her friends give her used makeup even though she is worried about passing germs.
