2. PEER PRESSURE
Peer pressure is influence that a peer
group, observers or individual exerts that encourages others to
change their attitudes, values, or behaviours to conform to
group norms. Social groups affected include MEMBERSHIP
GROUPS, in which individuals are "formally" members , or
social cliques in which membership is not clearly defined. A
person affected by peer pressure may or may not want to
belong to these groups. They may also
recognize DISSOCIATIVE GROUPS with which they
would not wish to associate, and thus they behave adversely
concerning that group's behaviours.

3. • Peer pressure is most commonly associated with youth, in
part because most youth spend large amounts of time
in schools and other fixed groups that they do not choose and are
seen as lacking the maturity to handle pressure from friends.
• Also, young people are more willing to behave negatively
towards those who are not members of their own peer groups.
• Peer pressure can also have positive effects when people
are pressured toward positive behaviour , such as volunteering for
charity or excelling in academics or athletics, by their peers. This
is most commonly seen in youths who are active in sports or
other extracurricular activities where conformity with one's peer
group is strongest.

6. FACEBOOK ADDICTION
Facebook is an online social networking
service, whose name stems from
the colloquial name for the book given to
students at the start of the academic year
by some university administrations in the
United States to help students get to
know each other. It was founded in
February 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg with
his college roommates and
fellow Harvard
University students Eduardo
Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin
Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.

7. • Facebook has become so much common among
teens, youngsters and also among elders. It provides the
facility to search anyone, present in any part of the country.
You can chat with and come to know about your relatives and
friends living far away and you will feel very close to them.
•
It has both positive and negative edges. Hundreds of millions
of people use Facebook to enhance their lives in a part time
activity. Facebook and especially internet are the socially
connecting ways and sometimes it makes so lonely that the
students do not find time for their family members even. They
get so much into it and forget about other responsibilities and
physical activities.

8. • Facebook is quite addictive, once you get started you will find
yourself checking it every day and doing so make you interested
in using it and then you start checking your friends’ s and
messages and their activities and most addictive thing on
Facebook is playing games which are available there. Using
Facebook makes students idol, they just stick around their
desktops and keep using Facebook. All the activities on
Facebook take long time and user get deep down in it and forget
about other things.

12. RISK BEHAVIOUR
While socially accepted kids often have the most opportunities
and the most positive experiences, research shows that being in the popular
crowd may also be a risk factor for mild to moderate deviant
behaviour. Popular adolescents are the most socialized into their peer
groups and thus are vulnerable to peer pressures, such as behaviours usually
reserved for those of a greater maturity and understanding. Socially
accepted kids are often accepted for the sheer fact that they conform well to
the norms of teen culture, good and bad aspects included. Popular
adolescents are more strongly associated with their peer groups' likes such
as alcohol, tobacco and drugs. Some studies also show that many popular
students also make lower grades than less socially accepted kids. This is
possibly due to the fact that popular students may spend more time
worrying about their social life rather than studying. Although there are a
few risk factors correlated with popularity, deviant behaviour is often only
mild to moderate. Regardless, social acceptance provides more overall
protective factors than risk factors.
