Peer Pressure?

Hi friends! When we talk about teenage problems, the first thing that comes to anybody’s mind would be peer pressure.

Peer pressure simply put is nothing but influence of your friends or your friend circle on you. There are so many times that we see young adults engaging into criminal activities or any other ill activity only in the name of peer pressure.

Well I too understand what it is to be a part of the group and how it is important to be a part of the group you are in. Little things like having a good phone, wearing good or branded clothes because everybody else in the group is, etc. All of this is understood but yet again to a certain extent. You also have to keep in mind your financial capabilities while forcing your parents to buy you those things.

When it goes extreme is when teenagers start to keep boyfriends, start to smoke, drink, take drugs, go clubbing, etc. only because their friends are. This is absolutely wrong. If you don’t like something you don’t have to do it. You have to learn to say NO and also remember “When you hide something from your parents, you should know that it is not the right thing” Because had it been then you wouldn’t find the need to hide it, would you?
