    I think they respond to it equally but in different ways. With girls, it tends to be about body image and socialization, with boys it tends to be about risk taking and choices in activities.

    Well, I don't say is a "manipulating" thing, which humans responds at. You have to agree with a minimal of rules on a society if you want to belong, however, some of that rules opress the free choice, and is not that persons are manipulated but they feel compulsed to lead the life society says. I think both genders suffers social pression in different ways.

    PEOPLE vary with respect to how much they respond to peer pressure, and individuals vary as to this over the course of their lives (we're usually more easily manipulated in our younger years, and grow some sense with age).

    I doubt this is something that varies significantly between the sexes.

    Prolly guys.

    Because if they don't do something

    they get mocked for a while.

    If a girl doesn't choose to do something

    or give into peer pressure

    more people understand it.

    Prolly both, but I say guys more.

    I can think of pretty strong examples of both genders following their peers over the figurative cliff...I think it depends more on the intelligence and will of the child in question.

    Hard to say as boys tend to try things just to fit in and seem big or impress girls. Where else girls are usually worried about what they look like and compare themselves to their friends. So its sort of an equal balance.

    i would say both. but there are things that girls are more pressured into and will give in. and there's things that guys are weak about too, really, we are all going to give into pressure at some point.

    I think boys I think girls are more supportive than guys. And when guys get together I think like to challenge each other and test each other who's the bigger man.
