My teen-age son，Chad，and nine of his friends came home one night with newly pierced ears.  When his grandmother heard about it，she asked him why he did it.”Peer pressure," Chad told her.
一天晚上，我十几岁的儿子查理，带着九个朋友回到家，他们都扎了耳朵眼儿。当儿子的奶奶听说了这件事时，她问我儿子为什么要这样做，查理告诉她:“是同辈的压力。”

"You should be a leader instead of a follower，”Grandma said.
奶奶说：“你应该做个领头的，”

"I was,"he replied. "It was my idea.”
“我是个领头的。”他回答说：“这是我的主意。”
