Peer Pressure: Social pressure by members on one's peer group to take a certain action, adapt certain values, or otherwise conform in order to be accepted.
There was a time when I was with my friends, and we were shooting paintball guns. One of them started putting pressure on the rest of us to aim across the street at my neighbors mailbox, and shoot it. Luckily, I knew that doing that would somehow result in us getting in trouble, or just ending badly, so I said no.
