Peer pressure

Trying to get somebody to do something based on what everyone else is doing, thinks is safe, or thinks someone should do.

Most people wear masks, and some think that peer pressure, or even something worse than peer pressure (like deaths) is going to change the way somebody else does things, especially if peer pressure convinced them to put on a mask.

I’m under a lot of pressure

I’m trying to take care of my mom. I’m hoping she has at least 20 or 30 years. I’m going to have to start taking care of her.

But I also don’t have a girlfriend or children or a job right now… so I’m pretty worried about my future. My friend said “you know the truth. They don’t.” And said they have more to lose. He says I’m overreacting.

The future is looking really rough for me soon. I’m just worried if I’m going to make it or not.

pier pressure

Trying to force someone to act in a certain way or perform a certain action by making him stand at da very edge of a platform so dat he fears falling off.

Captain Hook tried using "pier pressure" on Wendy --- i.e., telling her dat she either had to join him in his pirating escapades or walk da plank --- but fortunately Peter Pan arrived just in time, and freed Wendy and her friends before any harm befell them.
