Peer Pressure
Peer pressure can be intensified by the need for social validation through likes, comments, and shares on social media. Teens could experience pressure to adhere to specific habits or trends in order to receive approval from their followers. Viral challenges and trends are frequently featured on social media sites. Even if these activities could be dangerous or go against what is right, teens can feel under pressure to take part in them or follow the latest trends. These activities may include drinking, drugs, etc. They may feel under pressure to live up to societal norms because social media interactions are frequently public. Peer pressure has a greater effect online due to the public character of these exchanges.
