2. Peers are people who are
part of the same social
group. Although peer
pressure is not always
negative, the term
"pressure" implies that the
process influences people
to do things that may be
resistant to, or might not
choose to do.

applied to younger
people. Because they are
also typically striving for
social acceptance at this
period .

4. There are two types of
peer pressure:
 In the large group.
 In the close relationship
with one or several best
friends.

5. Sometimes parents tend to
react before they think things
through. If they feel a set of
friends are not who their
children should be around
they forbid them to ever hang
with them again without
coming up with the best
solution.

6. Here are some advices for
parents dealing with
children with friends that
they think are bad
influences:
 Get to know the friends of
your teen.
 Do not attack your child's
friends.

7. Taking risks can seem really
fun and exciting — and
some risks can be good for
teens. The trick is to take
those chances that teach you
something new or make you
a better person.
