INTRODUCTION
Introduction
During adolescence, when individuals are navigating their identity and seeking
acceptance, peer pressure can feel especially intense. Whether it’s pressure to try drugs, engage
in risky behaviors, or conform to social norms, the desire to fit in can lead to decisions that may
pressure in school. Peer pressure is clustered in four categories such as social belongingness,
Peer groups are usually made up of people who have the same status, are of the same
age. Peer pressure is an omnipotent force since it is relevant at any age level but has a significant
This concept implies the impact of peers on human behavior, decision-making process,
and attitude. Understanding this force is necessary because it is possible to see how we behave
with people and what we decide. This is made worse by the phase of adolescence when an
identity is established, and acceptance is sought. The inclination to adapt can result in decisions
that go against one’s moral code. Peer pressure, in other words, refers to pressure exerted on an
individual to change their opinion, attitude, or behavior in order to conform to that of their close
friends.
In the current study, we will analyze the essence of peer pressure, identify the various
types, and consequences of pressure on an individual’s life. Equipped with knowledge on how
peer pressure occurs, we would be in a position to devise means that will help persons counteract
the negative impact and make decisions that align with their health.
