HI..Can anyone just help me on 'what are the impacts of peer pressure on youth behaviours?
I appreciate ur help...alot.=)
When your friend ask you go do something, then you'll know how it's like liao lo.
Your group of friends does this, And you dont! So you will be afraid of not being part of the group anymore cos you dont share the same interest as them. Anyways This will all fade away once you hit early to mid-twenties, Cos you have your own sh|t to do. You become more of an independent person.
Peer pressure plays quite a great role in a teen's life. Sometimes people don't know that they are under peer pressure. If they don't have any knowlege of it, they may not aware of themselves that they are facing peer pressure. Personally, i think to overcome peer pressure, it's very important to have self confidence and self-esteem. When the teens don't know how to deal with it, it's the best choice to seek help from parents and teachers.

Tons of impact.
Peer pressure can make one person do wrong thing unknowingly and unable to make a sond judgement. For instances, they ask you to smoke, to fight together with them.
Learn to say NO and learn to stay away from them.
Inform your parents about being pressure to do something unlawfully.
Or your teacher or head master.
it depends what ur friends into.. if its just hanging out aft school or classes then shldnt me any problem. but if its abt something more DARING like stealing, fighting or sexual stuffs then u should draw the line. back to ur qtn, yes the impact is huge but if u can stay close within ur priorities and learn to say 'no' to the wrong things at the wrong time then it should be alright. u wont know the impacts of it until ur 20+. i still regret on certain things i did on my foundation years but hmm! its all in the past so dont make mistakes which u cant erase it back! :)
I do ask my kid to have study group, can meet up after school to study and do project or homoework or go library, go shopping occassionally, eat out is perfectly fine to me.
But not fighting, stealing, glue sniffing, gangsters, triads....that is a NO NO from me.
