9、o doing something youre uncomfortable with, such as shoplifting, doing drugs or drinking, or taking dangerous risks when driving a car.The pressure to conform（随潮流）can be powerful and hard to resist.

10、uence a person to do something that is relatively harmless- or something that has more serious consequences.People may feel pressure to conform, so they fit in or are accepted, or so they dont feel awkward or uncomfortable.

16、o deal with peer pressure D.the influence of peer pressure on people C I feel it enormous responsibility, as a mother of two little girls, to lead you down a path that is relatively healthy when it comes to beauty and self-image.In a lot of womens eyes Ive probably already failed in that respect due

17、 to the amount of pink princess Barbie (芭比娃娃) mess cluttering up (堆满) Veras room. But I will say something about Barbie: I played with that stuff for a solid decade when I was growing up and here I am now at a healthy weight with a healthy outlook on my body and image. I have a successful career. If

18、 Barbie was really so damaging to my femininity (女性气质) and self-image I highly doubt I could list all of the accomplishments.But I get it too. Its hard for women to maintain a healthy self-image.

27、y should care more about others opinions DHave you ever picked a job based on the fact that you were good at it but later found it made you feel very uncomfortable over time? When you select your career, theres a whole lot more to it than assessing your skills and matching them with a particular pos

28、ition. If you ignore your personality, it will hurt you long-term regardless of your skills or the jobs pay. There are several areas of your personality that you need to consider to help you find a good job. Here are a few of those main areas;1) Do you prefer working alone or with other people?There

If you needstabilityin your life, you may need a job where the changes dont happen so often. Other people would be bo

There are people who are happy to spend more than 40 hours a week on a computer, while there are others who needa lot of human interaction throughout the day. Again, these are extremes and youll likely find a lot of positions somewhere in the middle as well.4) What type of work environment do you enjoy？This can range from being in a large building with a lot of people you wont know immediately to a smaller setting where you
