Nowadays, Teenagers get inspired by their
friends
, family and teachers. Many young people, try to survive under the press.
However
, there are both pros and cons to deciding to do
this
. In
this
 essay, I will discuss some of the reasons why teenagers quickly impress by their environment and
friends
 and that gives
pressure
to

 them and some challenges to be overcome. Let’s begin by looking at the advantages of young people being influenced by their peers. One of the main positives of inspiring fellows is that they can force themselves to do more. What I mean by
this
 is that if they are not successful in their class. They feel
pressure
 to more study.
This
 can make you accomplished.
Secondly
, being influenced can lead to better behaviour. Take Primary school students for exams. Many children have different actions. They can learn new things from their classmate.
In addition
, by influencing peers, they can gain more qualifications and particular skills which may improve their knowledge. Turning to the other side of the argument,
pressure
 is a major problem. To be more precise, many teenagers try to be better than those who are impressed. Unfortunately,
this
 feeling brings
pressure
 and effect their all life. Another issue is that it can be difficult to afford their own.
In other words
, families have various financial conditions. So some of their
friends
 have unique bags, phones or computers.
However
, those are impossible to buy some peers.
This
 process can be challenging if you are not able to be an equal with your
friends
. All things considered, being same age group is stressful and most time teenager effects each other. You need to weigh up the pros of being more successful and improving your knowledge and the cons of
pressure
 and envy for unreachable things. Personally, I believe the benefits in terms of learning new information and achievement eventually outweigh any negatives.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
