Reply To: Peer pressure is not just about people feeling pressured.

By Kabolas Hatorah we were pressured to accept the Torah. It is known that we have the right intentions but the yetzer hara holds us back from bringing it to fruition. The Tiferes Yisrael on Perkei Avos (4,2) interprets our davenen והסר שטן מלפנינו ומאחרינו, when we want to do a mitzva, the yetzer hara stands in front of us but by an aveira, he stands behind us.
