Give 5 negative points of peer pressure.

Here are a few things which could be added in your answer:


 

- Peer pressure is the influence exerted by a peer group, encouraging individuals to change their attitudes, values, behaviors, etc, in order to conform to group norms. 

- Peer pressure is most commonly associated with youth, in part because most youth spend large amounts of time in schools and other fixed groups that they do not choose and are seen as lacking the maturity to handle pressure from friends. 

- Also, young people are more willing to behave negatively towards those who are not members of their own peer groups.

- Peers influence your life, even if you don't realize it, just by spending time with you. You learn from them, and they learn from you. It's only human nature to listen to and learn from other people in your age group.

- Sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them, your soccer friend might try to convince you to be mean to another player and never pass her the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to drink alcohol with him. 


 

Hope this helps!

See its obvious that when u don't know something about a particular field and someone tries to explain u about it u start believing them.....similarly when u are under the pressure from your peers u start believing in them and try to follow them just to look cool or to prove that u are no less than others...

First negative point is dat Decisions start getting wrong.....people start doing things they normally won't like to do...like smoking drinking etc... U usually want do it but when u see ur friends do that u would do it just to show ur superiority

 Second point is that u start cultivating Bad habits which are meant as low class by the societ....egs remain the same that are smoking drinking abusing eve teasing etc....

Third point states..that under peer pressure u forget ur own identity and adopt d identity presented by ur friends to you... U start behaving like the people around u and in order to look cool u forget ur usual behaviour and cultivate bad behaviour
