Peer pressure involves the influence of peers encouraging individuals to engage in activities they may not wish to do, often for social acceptance. While it can lead to negative outcomes like unhealthy habits, it occasionally may push individuals towards positive actions, though these instances are rare. Peer pressure primarily affects adolescents, particularly from ages 11 to 21, often leading to regrets in adulthood when individuals realize the consequences of their choices.

1. Peer Pressure is when your peers tell
you to do something you may not
necessarily wish to for getting
accepted into their group or society.

2. How does Peer Pressure occur
• When you are new to a place or school, you tend to
make friends which is a common phenomena
• You be friends with people whom you are comfortable
with and stay with them
• In some cases, your friends get carried away by
another person or thing and it has a negative impact
on them which they don’t realize soon.
• Your friends think it isn’t anything wrong that they are
doing and so they try to attract you into it.
• You tend to say yes due to your good friendship and
trust on your friends leaving apart the side effects

3. Side Effects of Peer Pressure
• When you accept to do a thing you sometimes don’t
realize what kind of trouble you put yourself into.
• In case if you start smoking because your friend says
so, you don’t realize how this could affect your lungs in
the long run.
• In case you start taking alcohol you wont realize how
liver damaging it could be to you in the long run
• In case you start seeing inappropriate content as at a
young age you don’t realize how this can
psychologically affect you and how this can change
your mindset or divert your attention from important
things in your life

4. Benefits of Peer Pressure
• To be honest there are basically no benfits to Peer
Pressure except some which also have a negative
side.
• You will be accepted in the society or group of
friends and they will act as your good friend which
they never will honestly be
• In very rare cases your peers pressurize you to do
something beneficial out of which you will benefit
or help your self in some way. Eg:- your peers
pressurize you to go to the gym or they pressurize
you to study for more time than entertaining
yourself

5. Side Effects of Peer Pressure
• In many case peer pressure takes place and corrupts the
persons attitude towards life and his habits, when the
person grows up he realizes he has wasted his time and
he cannot go back in time to resolve his actions taken by
him at that time.
• Repenting and regretting these mistakes when you grow
up makes no meaning as you have already been affected
• Eg:- You have always had a dream to be a part of a good
firm or be very educated but you get carried away by
distractions at young age which result in a failure of your
hard work and power to resist distractions

6. Age when Peer Pressure occurs
• Peer Pressure normally occurs when the
person is in his puberty. He/She gets carried
away by distractions and mainly finds hard to
resist them because it is in human nature to
do what your friends tell you to until you have
some special problems such as:- Hysteria etc
• The age is right from 11 to about 21. it
normally occurs with teens.
