We have finished our research and also added a new line of inquiry(What were looking into) and a new student question which that we also finished!
The new line of inquiry is:
Causation: The effects of peer-pressure
The student question: What are the effects of peer-pressure?
We wrote down some effects:
Drinking:alcohol
Drugs: A plant or chemical which is bad and may kill you or make you very sick and not could be used as medicine
Less friends /Loneliness
Get hurt
Change the person by: The way they look, The way they act , the way they do stuff, Different clothes, Different music different hair CHANGES THE WHOLE PERSON
Can get in trouble
Lack of self -confident: do not know how to do stuff on your own and always down in your self and don’t believe in your self
Lack of self-esteem: Doesn't feel good about him/her self
poor choices: does not make good decision
Lower grades: not do well at school

And in perspective we have some quotes and thoughts from around the Internet:
No child is immune to peer pressure. ~ Kathi Hudson
The people in the popular group say there is no peer pressure because they are at the top of the food chain. Really what they are doing is just eating away at everybody else. ~ Lauren Greenfield
Talk to your children about peer pressure. Explain what a powerful force it can be, and ... tell them that you will never accept the excuse that "Everyone did it" ... that they will be held responsible for their actions. ~ Tom McMahon
The main consequence of saying no to negative peer pressure is not just withstanding "the heat of the moment," as most adults think. Rather, it is coping with a sense of exclusion as others engage in the behavior and leave the adolescent increasingly alone. It is the loss of the shared experience. Further, the sense of exclusion remains whenever the group later recounts what happened. This feeling of loneliness then becomes pervasive but carries an easy solution - go along with the crowd. ~ Michael Riera
Kids ... can get to the point where they feel peer pressure that isn't even there simply because of how they see themselves. ~ Walt Mueller
Peer pressure is not a monolithic force that presses adolescents into the same mold. . . . Adolescents generally choose friend whose values, attitudes, tastes, and families are similar to their own. In short, good kids rarely go bad because of their friends. ~ Laurence Steinberg
Most literature on the culture of adolescence focuses on peer pressure as a negative force. Warnings about the "wrong crowd" read like tornado alerts in parent manuals. . . . It is a relative term that means different things in different places. In Fort Wayne, for example, the wrong crowd meant hanging out with liberal Democrats. In Connecticut, it meant kids who weren’t planning to get a Ph.D. from Yale. ~ Mary Kay Blakely
The ugly reality is that peer pressure reaches its greatest intensity at just the age when kids tend to be most insensitive and cruel. ~ Walt Mueller
Peer pressure is a part of almost all children's lives.-Child line
And we also answered some questions like why do people pressure others?
Answer: To bring peoples attention to be power full and strong and to be popular.-ChilLIne
We also wrote down some examples of peer-pressure in primary:
pressuring to stealing from teachers desk “YouTube video”
“ “ “Hitting someone
“ “ “Doing stunts- Jumping of stuff
“ “ “Do something mean- Mr.Jim-pushing them in the mud.
“ “ “Give something they own “TeacherTube”-Give them a toy
“ “ “ Cut subjects or Cut school “KidsHealth”
“ “ “ die hair ,Peirce ears like others Friends music ,same clothes “www.ezinearticals.com”
Make sure you tell your friends leave a comment and make sure you comeback next Friday or the weekend.Oh and WISH US LUCK! ;)

I think that you are doing a good job so far and have done some thorough research. I enjoyed reading the quotations you posted- they made me think about when I was a teenager and how I reacted to peer pressure. Keep up the good work!
