Peer pressure has been an issue that has occurred for many generations. Women are and have been the main victims of peer pressure and today nothing much has been done to correct this issue. The public must learn about the causes of the issue in order to learn about the effects of it as well. Creating an organization for helping those involved in peer pressure is a step to terminating the issue completely.

For decades peer pressure has been a major issue for women. Women being the main victims of rape are constantly being pressured into having sexual intercourses. Men on the other hand are the main causes of dating violence or the main suspects behind peer pressure, leading women into the path of manipulation and pressure. These paths that women are unknowingly drawn into cause women into having unwanted or unplanned pregnancies,thus creating a road to even more terrible effects such as suicide or traumatize.(The Readers Companion to U.S Women's History)

Peer pressure is a very important issue because too many women each year claim to have been raped. Sometimes these rapes can be caused by their own boyfriends thus they are now involved in date rape which is when one is raped by their partner. It is also an important issue because not only is the victim of rape abused in many forms but so are the family and friends of these victims. Unwanted pregnancies lead to a difficult time caring for the victim's child,thus creating a lot of stress for the victim herself and the family and friends supporting her.(The Nemous Foundation)

I am interested in this project because many men are use to the thought that it is fine to dominate women. With these thoughts implanted in their minds, men will go to any level to reach their sexual desires such as drugging their partners, only to easily pressure them into having sex. Although it may not seem like it. an event such as this is considered rape. Also these actions are highly disrespectful towards women and can be punishable by law for committing rape, even if the victim herself is in a relationship with the rapist. Many may believe that women owe sex but reality is, sex is never owed and if so it would also be considered rape if the partner did not want to have sex but was forced to.(Patriot Ledger " Flirting with Danger"))

Likewise, the main audience the topic focuses on is the public. The public should be aware of these kinds of issues because they may happen to their very own children or friends. Most of the time, parents themselves may not notice the truth in their child's relationship and may not know if they suffer peer pressure. Therefore parents should be more involved in their children's relationships, getting to know their boyfriends and their parents as well, in order to be well aware of what kind of relationship their child is involved in.

With the creation of an organization that will help to decrease the amount of rape victims, I personally hope to provide the knowledge the public may need in order to help their own children and possibly themselves. Women should always be respected and should not be abused in any form just to please their own desires. If so this message will hopefully open the eyes to the public so that they may see or visualize the true effects of what peer pressure can have on women. Therefore this organization may hopefully provide a safer environment for many. Although it take some time, a goal such as this can still be achieved.

In addition,although men may be the main causes of rape, women can sometimes lead themselves into it. On certain occasions women sometimes want their own sexual desires to be fulfilled. From here so forth women will mistakenly allow their partners to have sex with them. This can be a mistake for both partners in a relationship. An argument between both couples can sometimes lead to both partners claiming that they have been raped when truth is the fault may be hidden behind the females. Thus men can mistakenly be considered rapist.(webmd)

As a result,in order to propose a solution creating a power point will proved the public with view and brief description on each page about what the organization is about and what is the main goal to be focused on. From here the public will have the option to join the organization. A product such as this will hopefully bring large numbers of members into the organization, and with larger numbers comes a greater chance of success.With a successful organization comes the possibility of decreasing the amount of rape victims.

In conclusion, peer pressure has been a large issue for many generations. The main victims of peer pressure are women, in which nothing much has been done to help stop the issue. The public must be given a better visualization and knowledge about peer pressure in order to have a better understanding on the brutal effects it may have on its victims.. Creating an organization that can benefit those who are involved in peer pressure is taking the first step to putting a stop to the issue completely. As a reminder "nothing is impossible."
