Once you are clear about the advantages and disadvantages, you can start planning your essay 
and then writing it. 
 
Introduction: Your introduction paragraph should paraphrase your question. Use synonyms for 
the words used in the question. 
 
For example: A peer group is a group of people of almost the same age, passions, tastes, and 
pursuits. Every man is a piece of the continent. Be it a kid or an older adult, everybody has peers, 
the former to play, and the latter to chew thoughts together. There is no one in the world who 
does not take advice and suggestions from others of his age. So it is no wonder that young people 
are influenced by their peers. It is so common to want to think alike and follow the crowd. No 
one can resist peer pressure. It has both merits and demerits but is most often a positive element 
in one’s life.
