College Pressures - An Analysis in light of College Pressures by William Zissner

Introduction

Classmates around the Yale student's affect the student's life, even without the Yale student's noticing, just by spending time with others. It is simply a matter of human nature to listen and learn while learning from other people who have the student's the same age. Classmates can have a positive influence each other. Maybe another student in the student's science class taught the Yale student's an easy to learn the names of the planets in the solar system, or someone in the student's soccer team taught the Yale student's a stylish trick with the ball. You might admire one which is always a good sport and try to look like him or her. Perhaps others excited for the student's new favorite book after the Yale student's have heard about it.

Discussion

Sometimes college fellows influence each other negatively. For example, some Yale students (as) in school might try to influence the Yale student's for the Yale student's to join them and do not attend class (Gordon & Minnick). The student's soccer friend might try to convince the Yale student's to be mean to another player and never pass her the ball or friend in the neighborhood might want the Yale student's to commit shoplifting with him.

Some Yale students give in to college pressure because they want to be liked, to be accepted or because they worry that other Yale students made fun of them if they join the group. Others because they are curious to try something new that others are already doing (Gordon & Minnick). The notion that "everybody does it" may influence some Yale students forget their strong sense and common sense. The pressure to be part of what others do can be very powerful and hard to resist. ...
