Young people are often influenced in their behaviors and situations by others in the same age. This is called “peer pressure”. Do the disadvantages outweigh the advantages?

Peer pressure is often observed in teenagers and youths’ social etiquette which is considered to consist of some merits and drawbacks. In spite of the fact that its effects on individuals are different from person to another, in a general view, the negative impacts are more invisible. Family and friends are known to be the most important social groups that influence young people and even if parents are not able to give them a sense of freedom,

this

situation can be experienced by a group of the same ages.

Although

this

sense can help youth to be more responsible and behave like an adult, sometimes misleading may be occurring and cause to people tend to use the drug and alcoholic beverages that are not suitable for their age. Due to teenagers’ tendency is showing off among their friends, sometimes they do insane things to show their bravery

such

as doing car driving matches in urban streets which not only is dangerous for them and but

also

may harm other citizens.

For instance

, some thefts, rapes, abuses, murders, and other criminal misbehaving happen in these circumstances and all of which are a sequence of children’s wrong upbringing whose parents have not to allocate time to pay attention to whom their children are friends with. As a matter of fact, the effects on friends to each other is crucially significant and life of someone can be improved by affectionate friends, but the experiences have proved that if there was not an observation on children's friendships by parents, the peer pressure would cause to harmful impacts on young people which is not possible to compensate.
