Question

how can peer pressure affect adolescents positively and negatively?

Answer 1

Answer:

But peer influence is a better way to describe how teenagers' behaviour is shaped by wanting to feel they belong to a group of friends or peers. Peer pressure and influence can be positive. For example, your child might be influenced to become more assertive, try new activities, or to get more involved with school.

Answer 2

Peer pressure can affect adolescents positively and negatively by the following ways:

Explanation:

• Peer pressure can have a positive effect if we look and copy the positive attitudes in a person. For example, a person starts to exercise regularly by looking at other people. Or a person might give up smoking when other people in his group are not smoking.

• On the other hand, peer pressure can influence negatively if unethical acts are copied from others. For example, getting into the habit of drug intake because other people in the group are doing so.
