conform 是及物动词,意为“遵从;顺从;服从”。
本句,to conform 是不定式作定语修饰pressure,之间存在动宾关系。跟There is a lot of work to do. 是一样的结构。
There is considerable pressure on teenagers to conform.
【翻译】青少年有相当大的压力要去顺从。

以下为《牛津》对conform 和 press的释义、例句:
conform
[intransitive] to behave and think in the same way as most other people in a group or society
There is considerable pressure on teenagers to conform.
press
to make strong efforts to persuade or force somebody to do something
press somebody to do something.
They are pressing us to make a quick decision.
及物动词press 后接复合宾语,不定式作宾补。当press改为名词pressure时,其宾语用介词on 引出,宾补则直接位于宾语之后。语法上,on somebody和to do不定式分别为名词pressure的定语,逻辑上sb是动词的宾语,不定式是动词的宾补。
所以,There is considerable pressure on teenagers to conform.这个句子中,on teenagers和to conform都是pressure的定语。逻辑上on teenagers由介词on引出动词press的宾语,to conform为动词press的宾补。conform为不及物动词,在此意为“与团队成员协调一致”。
