Based on limited information from the question, it sounds like his "friends" are pressuring him to do something that he is not comfortable in doing. Peer-pressure can be both painful and dangerous to the recipient. Depending on the situation, the peer-pressure could rise to a level that would be considered abuse. Even if the friends are not being abusive, at a minimum, exploring the value of "friends" that do not respect personal boundaries is a good conversation to have with a counselor at WEAVE's 24-Hour Crisis Line.
