influential component of adolescent development but the present

teenagers' attitudes, ways of life, and their behaviors. Our data

from friends to use drugs and alcohol is a major contributor to
substance use, while the concept of peer pressure enables adults
to explain youths' troubling behaviors. peer pressure indicates
that adoption of the behavior and appearance from peers is a
continuous effecting factor on personal and social life of youth.

conclusion
Recommendations
The following are the recommendations that we would like to give
after going through all our research and report work.
Parents should become the role model for their children so
that their children follow them rather following others.
Parents should have authority over their children.
Parents should Teach their Children to Recognize Negative
Peer Pressure
The best friend is one who guides his friend that what is
good and what is bad, therefore we should all try to become
a friend of such quality.
Page 23
PROJECT REPORT
knowledge about peer pressure should be spread through
media, education, social network and specially by parents.
