Question

peer pressure is good for the development of children. give your views for and against the statement.

Answer 1

In favour of statement:

Adopting Good Habits:-
Peer pressure is not always bad. It can help a student reflect on himself/herself. Peers may teach him/her good things and encourage the student to follow them. Then the student may be able to change himself for better. 

Exposure to the world:-
A student's peers, his choices and ways of life give him a glimpse of the world outside the four walls of your house. What they think about things in life, how he perceive situations, how he reacts in different circumstances can actually expose him to the world around. 

Giving Up Bad Habits:-

If a student is fortunate enough to get a good peer group, his peers can influence the shaping of personality in a positive way. His perspective of life can lead to change in his life.

Against the statement:-

 A dip in self-confidence :-

Just as some influences can be positive, some influences can be negative too. Peer pressure can take a normally self-confident child and make him/her someone who is not sure about themselves and has low self-esteem.

Academics are affected :–
For teenagers, it is important they be accepted by their peer group. This means that their peer group’s approval gets placed above that of their parents and teachers. This in turn has a direct effect on their academics. Sometimes their academics are affected because despite being capable of performing well, they choose not to because in the eyes of their peers it makes them look ‘uncool’


Can easily adopt dangerous habits :– 
The more extreme forms of peer pressure propagate bad habits such as alcohol consumption, smoking, drug abuse.

$\textbf{\underline{Peer Pressure}}$

With the help of this, I would try to help you out with the topic. First of all let us know what's peer pressure ?

Peer pressure is nothing but the demand that society have on you. It's their wishes and demands which will make you force to impress them. Peer pressure or people pleasure certainly not very difficult things. These are something which we can say is same.

Peer pressure tries to impose it's restrictions and conditions both. It doesn't mean that peer pressure is totally wrong. One should have a pressure so that he/she can get motivated and prove them in the field they wanna be at or they are.

Peer pressure has both positive and negative aspects. If talking about the positive one, peer pressure is something which will greatly influence you to build your character and get master in a particular field. This will help you as to be a better person as well as hard working competitor for your competition.

Concluding the topic, what we can say is peer pressure has it's pros and cons but everything depends on us how we take it. As stated above, if the negative one is fought then the result can be a positive experience.
