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?

Nowadays youngsters are more engaged with their

friends

rather than their atomic families, so being affected by their other young

friends

is an inevitable issue. Even though there may be some special occasions when

such

effects are valuable, I will elaborate on why, I believe

such

effects often not only deteriorates the self-confidence of teenagers but

also

mislead them, especially students.

To begin

with, feeling self-esteem by teenagers is vulnerable to being hurt by the harmful friendship that they experience in

this

phase of their

life

. In fact,

such

intensive could be the effect of acquiescence on a young man, or woman, that they afraid of being judged whenever they want to express their independent attitudes and take strategic decisions in their

life

. To exemplify, I remember that during studying in high school, I used to allocate most of my time to solving tough discrete

mathematics

and calculus questions, rather than solving ordinary and regular problems.

However

, to prevent myself from being judged by my classmate, I never talked with my teachers about my lack in

mathematics

, so I lost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take the National

Mathematics

Olympiad, which unfortunately led to many drawbacks in my prospective future career and scientific path.

Moreover

, peer pressure could lead students to follow the mode of their

friends

, which is somehow misleading for exceptional young men. In fact, from one side doing a blind mimicry from the way that accompanying

friends

are pursuing, maybe not be the solution for an individual, and on another side, being afraid of not being accepted from, or even being rejected, from the club of close

friends

, due to making different strategic decision in

life

, is stressful for youngsters. So ,unfortunately, young men become trapped by choosing a way of

life

that it's not their cup of tea. In my story of the National

Mathematics

Olympiad, in fact, I thought that in a case that I choose the Olympiad path rather than the normal path of my classmates, I will not only put

step in the wrong way but lost my network of close

friends

. To conclude, parents should train youngsters so that do not be under the deteriorating influence of their fellow ages, though they should take care of their constructive friendships.
