Majority opinion rules
Just how young do they start “following the crowd”?
A new study found that children as young as three and four know how to recognize majority opinion, and follow it. They will even remember later who was part of the “in” crowd.
Peer pressure plays a huge role in a students’ life. It’s easy to go with the flow, but it takes a lot of motivation and ambition to go against it.
This is especially important to recognize in a culture and society that can be so blatantly anti-God. Without a firm foundation of knowing Christ, its easier and easier to get washed away in the tide of public opinion.
How has this “follow the crowd” affect impacted your youth group?

We try to use it against them. ;) We make sure the “cool” students in the ministry are on-board with changes and new ideas first, ’cause we know if -these- students think it’s cool it’s cool and it’ll work.
