What are the type of peer pressure?

Many: Peer pressure can try to influence behaviors (pressure to have another drink, be more sexually active, vote for a certain person) or may try to influence thinking and values. It can be direct with peers verbally making statements that encourage thoughts/behaviors & it can be indirect with peers behaving in a way and rejecting when others do not fall into line. Seek wise counsel to find your way.

Can be many types: Peer pressure can take many forms but most commonly the term is used as friends coercing you to do something like use drugs or alcohol, break the law, or other harmful behaviors. A strong sense of yourself is necessary to avoid this negative influence from friends.
