What is peer pressure? Social influence to adopt a particular type of

behavior, dress or attitude in order to be accepted as a part of a group of your equals (“peers”).

Influence you feel from a person or group of people to do something you might not otherwise consider doing.

Sides of peer pressureWhat I think that peer pressure has two sides.It may have Positive side Negative sideIt depends how a teen get influenced .

The positive sideIt can be hard for teens to resist peer influence sometimes, especially in heat moment but it can also have a positive effect.For eg: My friends are doing, I should also give it a try. Competition for good grades.

THE NEGATIVE SIDEExtreme peer pressure may lead you to follow what your peers feel right. Their pressure may compel you to go by everything they think right

Affect of peer pressurePeer pressure might influence you in a number of

ways, including: Fashion choices Alcohol and drug use Decision to have a boyfriend or girlfriend Choice of friends Academic performance

How to deal with negative peer pressure Self-confidence, always reply. Be yourself, regardless of what others think. Hangout with people who feel the same way you do. Feel comfortable to say “NO”.
