Answer:

Sixteen-year-old Jessica is pressured by her friends into drinking alcohol. Later she also gives in to them and tries heroin. Her experience best illustrates PEER PRESSURE.

Explanation: Peer pressure is experienced when a group exerts direct, or indirect influence, upon an individual to participate in certain activities. Peer pressure can begin at as young as age nine, but teenagers are most often the target age range of this type of pressure. Peer pressure can also affect young adults and mature adults.
