[keyfloater96]

[ChiefRunningWall]

Your voice would be perfect for a movie or bodywash commercial with lots of red meat.

[JohnyRingo2011]

I like your info!!

[ovader1]

AWSOME *subscribe*

[ForNimmo]

You should have pictures, or diagrams to help us get a better understanding, and so it is more interesting.

[MrJustliketht]

Im not trying to be mean but you sir, have a face I would love to hit 

[PitBullsBiteHard]

conforming is like joining the Empire.

[TheMokalover]

this makes my think of those ppl who made fun of me cuz im a goth they ended up in the hospital

[mpchapkido]

"and then they get cancer and dies" xD

[monster8090]

Not a great video. Maybe try adding links to some reputable information rather than just giving opinions and anecdotes.

The idea of getting people interested is fine but if they have no interest they wouldn't watch the video. So at least add some good source material for the people who want to look into it.

Just some ideas to make your videos more apealing to people.

[PurplePanther28]

@harrypotternerd1257 I'm a huge Philly D fan, and I don't like it, especially the end, where he copies QOTD...

[Raymondhaffar1]

@PurplePanther28 So does Rwj, you don't see anyone complaining about that.

[jmar4life]

Very good points you got going sir

[LPSwimmer2011]

Lots of haters up there. I thought it was interesting. Maybe it's not the most impressive video on peer pressure, but it attracts a larger audience...or at least it should.

[mkocja5a]

you ain't getting me to try cigarettes or drugs with peer pressure no matter what the fuck you do :P

[ItsAAMarioTime0]

@mkocja5a i will rape u if u dont

[mkocja5a]

@ItsAAMarioTime0 lol you need some help from the guy in the video :P i like your user name though ^^ classic game series is classic

[luv6pup90660]

Really Well Done! Thumbs Up!

[airbrushaaron666]

turn your example of peer presure around. 4 peers 3 dont smoke one does the one is pressured not to smoke. so there is the problem. smoking is horrible, but pressuring someome to do something they dont want to do is wrong. sometimes in life you just have to let people do as they please even if it hurts them.

[seany505]

I've not really been peer-pressured because my personality was always one partially guided by the principle "try everything at least once when possible".

[kirkleblanc]

POSITIVE INSPIRATIN IS NOT PEER PREASURE....

[davidmichelupton]

yes but i have a chameleon personality you should talk about the disorder. nice video

[harrypotternerd1257]

Any Philip DeFranco fan (like myself) would love this guys videos! Rock on dude :)

[MW3SEE]

GREAT VID NICE ADVISE

[TheJT711]

(✌ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞

[antibo617]

2 word *common sense* just don't be stupid. And alway think positive

[1234GOPRO]

@thatonescreamer and others. Peer pressure is "young politics" / "social jousting" but Good for you. And while you're just 17. You should do all you can to advance yourself in this world as fast as you can. Because when you take the step and fall from the feathery cushioned life you have now ... The enormous amount of info you have will be laying all over the hard unforgiving streets of life. And when , not if , you have the experience of trying to gather them all back up, after hitting you'

[Bls61793]

Well... It's obvious who else has seen a Philip DeFranco Video...

Anywho. I liked it. It was an accurate and fairly decent explanation. I would, however, mention the fact that resolving the internal conflict created by external conformity is a part of Cognitive Dissonance Theory. The internal conflict is unsettling. This disturbance is known as cognitive dissonance. Cognitive Dissonance Theory states that we change our beliefs or values to fit our behavior because it reduces our discomfort.

[Emokillas88]

hey you wanna be cool

[Ripzide]

@JKra45 You Depress me.

[overlordkgk]

hahaha nice man @GoPsych ,u got my subscription , i'd like to suggest something though , see , m a psychology student and i'm in college, and ur decently informative , but its kinda boring to watch a dude talk on youtube about psych, see , its not u , its just the fact that ur not presenting anything we can visually accept that relates to psychology in anyway , so my suggestion is , how about a video that has you drawing ur concept briefly while talking about them , like on paper or a board :)

[imactuallyserious]

cool i actually quite liked this. I thought it was fairly informative and definitely interesting. I see no point to JKra45's comments though due how you really shouldn't be going to youtube for an extreme insight to psychology. Just saying.

[chivo649]

@StuffWithWords505 haha

[chivo649]

follow me on twitter @mexican__1 (two underline things

[StuffWithWords505]

@chivo649 That's, well... random...

[THATONESCREAMER]

I'm 17 and I still have not smoked a cigarette or drank alcohol. I will not let peer pressure ruin it all.

[justaname111111]

@THATONESCREAMER keep it up :)

[THATONESCREAMER]

@justaname111111 Thanks. I plan on it :D

[Bls61793]

@THATONESCREAMER Not a bad thing at all. I'm 18 and likewise.

[THATONESCREAMER]

@Bls61793 {Respect}

[Bls61793]

[ZombieStar9]

People tend to not be able to put their feelings into words (I do at least) but I find phychology interesting because it allows us to understand why we do the things we do and explain our feelings. :o

[Azoicum]

your full of shit, dude

[thehipiemcmoo]

cool videos! its thehipiemcmoo. thx for checking mine out! i would luv it if u subbed my channel. I subbed

[20SarahN10]

If you're feeling peer pressure from your 'friends' maybe you're hanging with the wrong people, if they're cool they will accept you and not pressure you with things, sometimes I think it's insecure people who do that hmm I dunno =D just be yourself and stand your ground on anything you don't wanna do.. and btw smoking is disgusting.

[TheJasonRaj]

very cool vid doing my degree in psychology ... appreciate the extra knowledge given here

[shroomwarrior]

stfu you fag ill peer pressure my cock into your ass

[justaname111111]

@shroomwarrior u are so gay xDD

[Bibbabble]

I'm 19, on Saturday night I went out with a group of eleven friends. Every single one of them smoked, a lot. Every twenty minutes we were taking a trip outside so they could smoke and unless I wanted to stand inside alone, I went to. They were asking me if I wanted a drag, or a spare fag. But I said no thanks. People who start smoking because of 'Peer Pressure' are weak minded sheep.

[Bls61793]

@Bibbabble That's not peer pressure dude. That's sharing. I've been in similar situations. They aren't pressuring you in that regard.

[Bibbabble]

@Bls61793 Yeah, I mean it was nice of them to offer and I don't really think they were 'pressuring' me, but it's about people feeling pressured to conform too. People who accept the cigarette want to smoke because they feel like they have to fit in because there personality is too weak to make up for it.

[stubzTV]

I conformed to my peers a lot in 6th and 7th grade. Then I changed schools and just didn't have friends for a year then I went to high school and found better friends.

[XxskitzoxfreakxX]

ive never been faced with peer pressure or even seen it

[skaterchick077]

i like ur channel (:

[kingofthemile87]

you explain it better than some psych professors 

[yungnpr0]

fuck it just go smoke

[BibleVersesEveryday]

HI

[Joydawn]

I had the same thought when I think of peer pressure, except they're boys instead of girls.

[Mompy0yeh]

Obviously a lot of people who're ahead of basic explanations dislike this. But I like psychology being explained to me in a simple way, seeing as it's always held my interest but I haven't had the motivation to research much about it.

[xDocDone]

Love your channel dude psychology is so interesting but like hell i wanna learn it the school way haha

[xXangelxfromxhellXx]

You might find theremin trees' video on conformity interesting, it goes much deeper into this subject: v=TrNIuFrso8I

It has examples of scientific studies that show there's much more to peer pressure than what you said.

[Masahiro20]

I like how smoking a cigarette automatically removes one's innocence.

[bboybram]

It is horrible for me to hear "and then she dies".. And laugh out loud.

0:35

[GoPsych]

@JKra45 I didn't realize they taught psychology in elementary school? Also, I am trying to cover the basics of psychology in the first 50 or so videos, then I will take it up a few notches, and start making more in depth videos.

[Iamawsomelike]

@GoPsych well, I find your videos interesting!

[GoPsych]

@JKra45 Hey, I'd like to chime in on this debacle. JKra45, the reason I make these videos, is because I believe psychology is an interesting subject. Lots of people enjoy videos teaching them about psych, but don't really have the drive to go out and read textbooks about it or research it. I took psychology in college, and loved it, so I decided I would create a channel about it. I do it purely to create entertainment for the YT community, and maybe teach someone something along the way.

[emmabee11]

@JKra45 Who cares! this is interesting and also he actually really thinks about what he is saying and how he should put it, not to mention spends time and effort making these videos. Many of us would actually want to know about psychology, i for one do and i find his videos very intereting indeed so it really doesn't matter as long as you enjoy it.

[emmabee11]

Everyone everywhere these days are put into peer pressure situations, i do every single day but i would rather hang up-side-down over a pit of crocofiles, head first than give into them because i have my own mind and i don't need someone to tell me who i should be, what i should wear or what i should do. I think generally people need to step back for a moment and think about the negative effects it can have on them if they give into this peep pressure.

[emmabee11]

@emmabee11 Generally i see others walking around, mainly girls, in cheap designer clothes and shoes passing it off as expensive clothes, hiding under make-up and fake tan because their girly friends pressured them into "dolling up" as they put it. This only creates lack of confidence and self-esteeme in females but also in males if their friends say they should fancy up, shave their hair ect... I'm all for positive but too much negative peer pressure than positive.

[Xdear1]

Their is more negative effects than positive

[LOTRzagorath]

"Kids spend a lot of time in groups. In school and, outside of school..." HAHAHA

Sorry, couldn't help it. The positive effects of peer pressure are really interesting.

[Nickthecombkid87]

@JKra45 I agree but this is nice because he just makes a video on a random topic and you watch the video and don't have to research what he is talking about.

[guiriquita]

Really good representation! But like some of the viewers here said, cite the sources!

[CArdsadET]

The odd thing about peer pressure is that if you fail to fit in social standarts whatever how you try, then in the end you turn completely to opposite. at least so it was to me. i started not caring what others think and i even tried to be different, do things what other does not, listen music what others hate and so on.

so now i have no peer pressure cuz` i simply don`t care what others think about me and so on. i guess so one can become with anti-social behavior.

[columbo1977]

Yes, and of course I didn't there is no way I am ever going to do something just because "the group" was.

[snapecat]

yes, mine was a positive example. my friends from middle school had joined a summer high school camp, in order to get to know the school and some of our future teachers. i didn't want to give up my summer, but my friends kept begging me to join them. i did and we had a blast that summer, plus a lot of the classes we took that summer counted for our credits. i found my love of acting and drama that summer.

[2lethalinjections]

I would never peer pressure a person into smoking cuz I don't waste money on no one but me and my girl but her not willingly

[xXxMasterwafflexXx]

I never gave into peer pressure. I was and never will be a follower. I'm proud of that. I lost many so called "friends" Pffftt... because of this. I was shunned and basically kicked out of not 1 but to social cliques. The only good thing that came of it was it showed me what a true friend is, and that such a thing no longer exists in this world.

[TheotherMario2]

i remember one time in juinior high there it was popular to have boyfriends and girlfriends and such and alot of my friends would be like oh you should date that guy or that guy. and since my mom forbid me not to date 'till highschool i said no the end

[BlueHoundDog]

Awesome, you took my advice on the vlogbrothers vloging thing! I've already noticed an improvement :) Great content as well.

[RoyLMinecraft]

Some people tried to make me smoke but I always said no.

[WeAllWearPantyHose]

My name is Jessica. I make daily vlogs with my fiance Devyn. Our goal for 2012 is to get 1,000 subs.We are trying so hard to become partners on youtube and eventually one day live off of YouTube. It's a hard and long journey and I would love your support. Please check me out and if you don't like me be as harsh as you want to tell me why so that i may use the criticism to make my channel better. Thank you for taking the time to read this message and hopefully checking out my channel

[Darkblaze10k]

@WeAllWearPantyHose

Spamming this on other people's videos shouldn't be your answer.

[WeAllWearPantyHose]

@Darkblaze10k I posted it once. Look up the definition for spamming. This gets your name and video out there too. People see whos videos I have watched, I don't see why your complaining.

[theflorgeormix]

also think that coppercab and whatthebuck are so popular because they don't conform - Tom Green, freakoutkids etc.

[mrjk1994]

Your videos are like drugs to me

[theflorgeormix]

being in a fraternity - loaded with peer pressure influences, but always stayed myself, did not conform in any way, wouldn't be honest, and I think loved for that

[Jing737]

I smoked because of peer pressure. I also drank and lost my virginity because of it.  None of those were positive effects, unfortunately.
