Answer:
Does peer greatly contribute to teen negative behaviour?
Yes, peer pressure might encourage teens to become more active in athletics or to avoid risky behaviors. Or it could lead them to try alcohol or drugs, skip school or engage in other negative behaviors. ... “Teens have extra unconnected synapses in the area where risk-assessment occurs and this gets in the way of judgement.
Explanation:
- Peer pressure or influence is when you do something you wouldn’t otherwise do, because you want to feel accepted and valued by your friends.
- Peer influence can be positive or negative.
- Coping well with peer influence is about getting the balance right between being yourself and fitting in with your group.
- If you have a positive relationship with your child, she’ll be more likely to talk to you if she’s feeling negative peer influence. You have influence over your child too.
