However, yes I used to bunk school and stay at home sometimes when I was unprepared for my class tests and all, while some peers who were were as unprepared as me did attend school and write the tests to ensure that atleast they get a practice of the kind of questions that are asked in exams. Taking a cue from them I also started appearing for exams , but well prepared. peer influence plays a major role in decision making and to a certain extent shaping one's life.

  43. Peer relationships are very influential in adolescence. During this time, when young people are developing autonomy from their parents, peers become a significant source of social and emotional support. The attitudes of adolescents’ friends can have both a positive and negative influence. Strong peer attachments can enhance a young person’s wellbeing while problems in peer relationships, such as bullying, can have significant psychological, physical, academic and social-emotional consequences for both victims and perpetrators.

  46. During my childhood days there were only land phones. The phone would be locked from outside by the parents, to reduce the misuse and cut down the bill. My friends used to boast about how they fooled their parents and used the phone without their permission.

    I always felt bad in this and never tried to do that because I was always concerned about my parents - their trust and love, which I never wanted to loose. More over their concern happened to be my concern also .So I didn't want to do anything that might put them in trouble.

    Peer group influences a lot during the adolescence period. We as teachers must be able to imbibe in students, values , thoughts and beliefs which helps them to distinguish between what is good for them or not. Teachers can influence children .If a teacher can create a warm relationship with student definitely they will open up and discuss their issues with teacher seek help and accept his/her valuable suggestions.

As your child starts moving away from the parent-child relationship and seeking their own independence and identity, their peers will become more important to them. However, if you’re concerned about the effects of peer pressure on your child and think that it’s negatively impacting on their life, there are things that you can try to support them.

  135. Research shows that adolescence
    contrary to views that predominate
    in our media and culture—is actually
    positive for both teens and adults.
    Most adolescents succeed in school,
    are attached to their families and their
    communities, and emerge from their
    teen years without experiencing serious
    problems such as substance abuse or
    involvement with violence. Although
    teens experience emotions intensely—a
    consequence of brain development—
    for most, the teen years are not filled
    with angst and confusion. Rather,
    they are a time of concentrated social,
    emotional, and cognitive development

  138. Growing up I was always worried what impression my friends had on my family. I thought my father was very old fashioned , did not dress up in fashionable clothes , we did not have a big house etc. But then I realized my father although he was not dressed up in fashionable clothes was very forward thinking , well read and a gentleman in all senses. Even though I didn't have a big house I had a lovely home where all the members gave unconditional love to each other.

  139. I always used to share the importance of family bond and parents thought about their child to my friends while I was seeing such things. I hope it may help them to think about their activity.

  158. I spent my childhood in a joint family. My upbringing was with my cousins who shared the same values as mine. Due to this strong bonding with them I could handle and tackle peer pressure most of the time. I could resist the unwanted desires and temptations. I knew my boundaries and limitations. Having said that, sometimes I choose to experience my "Firsts" along with my peers but gave up the vices having experienced them once.
    So according to me a strong emotional support from family, relatives, cousins, teachers can help one to handle negative peer pressure.

  168. Yes, there had been instances when I was lured to join or follow my friends, but I always knew the consequences and where I should stop. This all because of my upbringing and good moral education in school. I wish to impart the same to the students. Students of this generation has less inhibitions compared to our generation, yet good or bad has always remained the same. All we have to do is to show them the right path without making them feel guilty. Tell them it's alright to experience things, but most important is to know where to Stop.

  172. Peers play a very important role in life. We have to be wise enough to select friends. बचपन की मित्रता बहुत आनंददायक होती है क्योंकि उसमें अच्छे बुरे का विवेक नहीं केवल मित्र का साथ ही महत्वपूर्ण होता है। बालपन ऐसे अनेक लम्हे आज भी यादों में बसे हैं जहां पर हमारा नटखटपन और अल्हड़ता‌ की बहुत सी घटनाएं हैं।
    किसी के घर की घंटी बजाना, पेड़ से अमरूद तोड़कर खाना‌ और ‌ पकड़े जाने पर मासूम चेहरा बनाना सचमुच आज भी आंखों के सामने हैं।

  182. It's true that Peer plays a very important role in one's life but the guidance, upbringing of a child, the environment, social background too plays a very important role and these directly or indirectly effects the peer influence. Sharing everything with parents and avoiding those situations as much as possible can be helpful.

  186. Fortunately had no friends I had who could do all this. But during polytechnic ( after 10th) when I was 16 or 17 I had friends who would force me to come to film. I went also. But I always felt guilty for not telling it to my father. Today I feel I should either had courage to tell prior to my father or bluntly deny friends. I really want my students, my children to be better prepared for it by being strong emotionally.

  187. At teenage, good friends were like a personal support group. Friends and friendships gave
    a sense of belonging, a feeling of being valued and help with developing confidence
    the sense of security and comfort that comes from being with others going through similar experiences.

    Information about the changes that puberty brings, and what’s going on physically and emotionally. A way to experiment with different values, roles, identities and ideas.

    A social group to do new things with, especially things that are different from what families do.
