Dealing with peer pressure- correction

Dealing with peer pressure:

Peer pressure is a serious problem to deal with for teenagers in the 21th century. Most of the teenagers in highschool, regardless of their age, are influenced by peer pressure. In my essay, I would like to state my opinion about that dilemma.- great opening!
----------------------------
----------------------------
On the one hand, peer pressure has (a) negative influence. Many students, for example,(מיותר) behave like the popular students in their class and want to look like them by talking like them and doing the same things. For example, they smoke cigarretes, use drugs or cheat in tests because of peer pressure, which can be very harmful to them because they give in to it.
----------------------------
----------------------------
On the other hand, peer pressure may be good when it is positive. For instance, if students in the class organize a charity campaign for people in need and others are motivated to do all sorts of things for this purpose, it is a very good thing. Therefore, a person should choose his friends carefully and ignore or say "no" to negative pupils who try to influence him and eventually hurt him. It may sound easy, however, it isn't because it is sometimes hard to be different and to stand for what you think. Despite that, everyone of us has to learn it because we need to be able to protect ourselves and do only the things that are good for us.
----------------------------
----------------------------
To conclude, peer pressure can be positive or negative, it depends on the situation and the people who are involved. We need to tell the difference between them and act according to our judgment even if we have to say "no" to acceptable students.- very good ending.
Now it's excellent. (100)
