Debate on peer pressure is harmful for teenagers
Answers
We all know the difficulties students have to face with their studies. There is a lot of stress on them to score well every time and it gets even harsher when peers get into the scene since our parents, teachers, and society always compares us to them without realising that we are different from others.
For example, if any one of my classmates is good at music and is popular because of that then it is very likely that my parents will push me to take up music. I might be strong in some other field, for e.g. soccer or ping pong. If my parents are adamant that I only do what my peer is doing then it will kill my real potential and cause me hurt. It will do great harm to my personality.
Same is for the career. If another student has taken science then it does not mean that I too should take science. I might be good at engineering or medicine so I should not be pressurised to do what others are doing.
If there are people in a peer group who have taken up bad habits like smoking or drinking which is bad for health. Sometimes the peer pressure gets on to you and you might start smoking, drinking against your will. Teenage is the vulnerable period of life and students must know the difference between good and bad and also have the courage to say no to pressure from peers.
Doing things just because others are doing will deprive us of our unique identity, originality, and individuality.
