Who are peers? You already know that the teen years can be tough. You’re figuring

out who you are, what you believe, what you are good at, what your responsibilities

are, and what your place in the world is going to be.

As you become more independent, your peers naturally play a greater role in your

life. As school and other activities take you away from home, you may spend more

time with classmates and close friends than you do with your parents and siblings

at home. You’ll probably develop close friendships with some of your peers, and

you may feel so connected to them that they are like an extended family. You and

your friends make dozens of decisions every day, and you influence each other’s

choices: the way you dress and act, things you’re involved in.

It’s natural for people to identify and compare themselves to their peers as they

consider how they wish to be (or think they should be), or what they want to

achieve. People are influenced by peers because they want to fit in, be like peers

they admire, do what others are doing, or have what others have.

Peers have a profoundly positive influence on each other. Sometimes, though, the

stresses in our life can actually come from our peers. They may pressure you into

doing something you’re uncomfortable with, such as cheating, or taking dangerous

risks like driving a car before you have a license.

Most peer pressure is less easy to define. Sometimes a group can make subtle

signals without saying anything at all – letting you know that you must dress or talk

a certain way or adopt particular attitudes towards school, other students, parents

and teachers, in order to win acceptance and approval. The pressure to conform

can be powerful and hard to resist. A person might feel pressure to do something

wrong just because others are doing it. Peer pressure can influence a person to do

something that is relatively harmless – or something that has more serious

consequences.

It’s not always easy to resist negative peer pressure, but when you do, it is easy to

feel good about it afterwards. And you may even be a positive influence on your

peers who feel the same way – often it just takes one person to speak out or take

a different action to change a situation and teach others a good life lesson. Your

friends may follow if you have the courage to do something different or refuse to

go along with the group. Consider yourself a leader, and know that you have the

potential to make a difference.

(A) When you think of Japan, one or two images may come to mind. Maybe you think of

delicious sushi? Or mountains and temples? Or maybe you think about the traditional

Japanese dress (kimono)? Kimonos came to Japan from China. They were worn

underneath clothes as an undergarment. "Kimono" was the Japanese word for clothing.

Now however, the word "kimono" refers to one type of Japanese dress . Kimonos are

robes with long sleeves. The sleeves are very wide. Kimonos are also shaped like a "T."

They are traditionally wrapped around your body from left to right. Kimonos became

popular during the Heian period (the period from 794-1192).

(B) As kimonos began getting more popular, people became interested in different colors

and fabrics. They matched bright fabrics with seasons. Also, in the past you could match

colors to social and political class. In the western world and other cultures, people wear

a lot of accessories. They may wear jewelry like rings and necklaces. People often wear

hats and fancy shoes. The Japanese did not dress like this, however. Instead, they

expressed their style and taste with the fabric of their kimono. Like an artist who paints

pictures, people would design very elegant images on their fabric.

(C) Warriors on the battlefield also wore very bright and colorful kimonos. Soldiers paid

lots of attention to their dress. They wore extravagant outfits! The color of a warrior's

kimono showed what part of the army he belonged to. At one point in time, kimonos

involved 25 different layers of fabric! Can you imagine having to put on 25 layers of

clothes? These traditional dresses became very valuable and parents passed them down

to their children as valuable gifts . While soldiers and government officials dressed in

particular colors to show class, normal citizens wore kimonos to show their family.

(D) Today if you travel to Japan, you will not see Japanese wearing Kimonos as many as

you did in the past. Western countries influenced Japan. This made people adopt western

style clothing. At one point, people in government were made to wear pants and jackets.

They were not allowed to wear kimonos! This is no longer a rule . Now the most popular

fabric to make kimonos with is silk so it could cost you thousands of dollars! And the belt

(obi) could be even more expensive. However, many tourists and Japanese locals like to

dress up in kimonos for fun .

(E) Kimonos are still worn for traditional occasions, as well. You may find Japanese

couples getting married wearing kimonos. They are also worn to funerals. The Japanese

wear black kimonos to funerals. And men getting married wear black kimonos too. In the

past, women wore kimonos while doing traditional arts such as serving tea parties. They

are often worn now to summer festivals .

(F) The western world has adopted the traditional Japanese kimono. If you go into a

clothing store in the United States and ask for a kimono, you will be given a long light

fabric robe. It is a popular fashion for young women . However, traditional kimono fabric

designers are considered very important in Japan. Their kimonos sell like an expensive

painting. They create unique masterpieces . While most modern Japanese people do not

own kimonos, they are still an important part of Japanese culture. They played a very big

part in Japanese history. They are also instantly recognizable as a Japanese icon !
