Is there a simple way to translate peer-pressure without writing out a whole sentence explaining what it is? Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

I think you can say...

Presión del grupo, presión social or la presión de los pares

SD dictionary gives this example ..

He started smoking because of peer pressure -> empezó a fumar por influencia de la gente de su entorno

yeah i came up with lots of answeres like this, but i was really looking for a shorter word/phrase...its in a list of "things teenagers do" - toothpastechica, Aug 2, 2011
presion social could work, do you know if this is a common phrase? - toothpastechica, Aug 2, 2011
Presión social means social pressure and peer pressure is a type of social pressure, isn't it? - SpanishPal, Aug 2, 2011
