雅思大作文家庭生活类话题范文--同辈压力对于年轻人的影响

摘要：接下来为大家带来家庭生活类话题雅思大作文（分析利弊型）的一篇范文：同辈压力对于年轻人的影响。我们一起来看解析和范文！

Task： Young people are often influenced in their behaviors and situations by others in the same age. This is called “peer pressures”. Do the disadvantages outweigh the advantages?

思路解析：

1. 首先，同龄人的压力会消除个性。举例，在这种压力下，年轻人总是关注，模范和跟随他人，包括了衣着，口味和行为。这种一致性让孩子们慢慢失去自我认知(self identity)。

2. 同龄人的压力还会导致年轻人犯错。举例，如果有同伴有着糟糕的生活习惯，如吸烟，喝酒和吸毒的话，那么这个年轻人就会忍不住去尝试，并最终上瘾。此外，为了服从某个团体的所谓规矩，天真的年轻人会被迫使加入一些团伙犯罪活动之中，如偷窃，抢劫等。

3. 当然，某些适当的同辈压力也会给年轻人的进步带来动力。举例，在学校学习中，来自其他同学的良好的学习表现是一个天然的压力，会刺激一个年轻人更努力的听课，思考和完成作业。此外，如果朋友们有着去图书馆的习惯，那么这个年轻人也会被鼓励去学习和阅读。

参考范文：

Peer pressure refers to the influence exerted by a peer group in encouraging a person to change his or her attitudes, values, or behavior in order to conform to group norms. In my view, peers bring more negative influences on a youngster than the positive ones, and my reasons would be explored as below.

Individuality is removed. Actually, for the purpose of receiving the social acceptance, young people might consciously compel them to approve of and comply with ideas, views and behaviors of other peers, instead of obeying their inner hearts. One typical example is lifestyle. As living in groups, unconditionally catering to even-aged students and students around is the main way of young people to avoid being labeled as eccentrics, such as by blindly following their tastes of food and clothing, hairs, music and amusements like sheep.

The high vulnerability to peer pressure is a reason of youth violence and crimes. In fact, if companies have poor values and illegal behaviors, the youth would be brainwashed by the evil. For example, gravitating to young friends abusing alcohol or drugs, a youngster is very likely to try these new things, thus trapped in the addictions of unhealthy and unlawful habits. Similarly, in order to succumb to rules of a gang, a  teenager would engage in social crimes, like thefts, school bullying, vandalism, arson and rape. Consequently, the ill influence from peers will ruin the life of youngsters.

Admittedly, to some extent, the influence of peers is valuable, because a moderate peer pressure can sharpen good qualities of the youth. For example, in school education, the pressure of classmates is a natural motivation for a young student to study hard. In addition, when a child knows his or her friends have a habit of reading books in library regularly, he or she will feel tempted to do so. Therefore, a positive impact of peers can help to keep a child on a right track.

In conclusion, risks from peer pressures are over the benefits. Although children can be driven by pressures of classmates to work hard in school education, the adverse effects of such pressure on depersonalizing teenagers and forming ill behaviors and illegal minds among them should never be underestimated.
