Story Behind The Song
I was asked by a police officer to write something to help with an education program.
Song Description
This song tries to describe how a young teen feels when everyone is doing something and they don't feel quite right about it, yet, they want to fit in. It lets them know that feeling is not unique to them and hopefully, gives them some skills to stand up

Lyrics
Peer Pressure
Sometimes your friends may be playing around
You look and think its lame
You know its something you wouldn?t do
But they want you to just the same
They try to convince you; they say ?Come on?
They want you to give it a try
They say you have to; it will be fun
But you can?t understand why
He?s doing it; She?s doing it
They?re all doing it but you
Peer pressure; Peer pressure
Whatcha gonna do?
Say ?No!? Use a strong voice.
Say ?No!? Make a good choice!
Different things come into style
You think you need to have it today
After everyone has come along
That fad goes away.
Its all the same hair; all the same clothes
Its all the same songs they sing
I?m here to say what?s really cool
Is doing your own thing!
