Ideas for my blog

The new peer pressure
This article suggests that peer pressure from social media starts the "I'll have what she's having" trend whether they are financially able to or not. It also talks about how some people upload statuses about the vacation they just went on, the price of the brand new car they just purchased, or the increase in their salary, and other things without filtering them for their privacy. People who do this usually have in mind that other people will be wowed by how much money they are spending and things like that.

Peer pressure social media
This article focuses on the "How do you measure up?" question which is asking you if you are up to date with the social media, and making you feel peer pressured to do so if you already aren't, which is what social media does.
 
“Experts call it “yardsticking,” the impulse to privately pit yourself against peers in order to determine your social standing or self worth. In high school we called it peer pressure.”

What does it take to change your mind?
