Big time disagreement here. Being in the middle of peer pressure doesn't help you deal with peer pressure - being removed from a non-stop force-fed diet of peer pressure during the years when you actually give a shit what your peers think and do is the best antidote. When my homeschooled kids, who by the way know about drugs and the losers who use them, leave home for college or whatever, that window of ultra vulnerability known as the teen years will be fading away and they will be YOUNG ADULTS who have bypassed - and therefore never developed an attachment to - the opinions of their same-age peers. They have spent their young lives trying to get the attention and approval of the MATURE people in their lives. That's not to say they don't have friends they like and want to be like - they do. But it's a far smaller influence than it would be were they in school. When it's time for them to fly I doubt very much that they will regress into adolescence; it will hold no attractions for them.
Originally the word liberal meant social conservatives(no govt religion--none) who advocated growth and progress---mostly technological(knowledge being absolute/unchanging)based on law--reality... UNDER GOD---the nature of GOD/man/govt. does not change. These were the Classical liberals...founding fathers-PRINCIPLES---stable/SANE scientific reality/society---industrial progress...moral/social character-values(private/personal) GROWTH(limited NON-intrusive PC Govt/religion---schools)!
Evolution...Atheism-dehumanism---TYRANNY...
Then came the SPLIT SCHIZOPHRENIA/ZOMBIE/BRAVE-NWO America---

What a language, Lizavetta! I guess all us do succumb to environment a little bit.
Is there such a thing as "beneficial adolescent peer pressure?"
Maybe in a church setting, or a school run by a church... otherwise, I don't think so.
