Read the following passage about peer pressure among students and marh the letter A, fl, C, or D on your
answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following quesfions from 23 to 30.
Peer Pressure Among Youth
Peer pres sure can be particularly p revalent among teenagers, who are at a vulnerable stage of development
and seeking their identity. It is a povverfiil force that can significantly impact the thoughts, actions, and behaviors of
teenagers. During adolescence, individuals strive for acceptance and belonging, making them particularly susceptible
to the influence of their peers. Understanding the nature of peer pres sure and its effects is essential for supporting
teenagers in navigating this challenging aspect of their social lives.
One aspect of peer pressure is the p ressure to conform to the norms and expectations of a social group
Teenagers iiiay feel compelled to adopt certain behaviors, preferences, or attitudes to fit iii and avoid s cioalrjcetioe .
This conformity can range fro M relatively liarniles s choices, such as fashion trends, to more concerning behaviors,
such as substance abuse or risky activities.
Peer pressure can manifest in both explicit and implicit ways. Direct peer pressure involves explicit requests,
invitations, or demands from peers to engage in specific actions or beliavio rs. Indirect or implicit peer pressure, on
the other hand, is more subtle and involves observing others' behaviors and feeling pressured to conform
without anv explicit re 0rests. This type of pressure can be equally influential and difficult for teenagers to navigate.
It is iiiiportant to note that peer pres sure can have positive or negative implications. Positive peer pres sure can
motivate teenagers to engage in healthy behaviors, such as participating in sports, pursuing academic goals, or
engaging in community service. However, can lead to risky or hariiiful behaviors, such as substance abuse,
delinquency, or academic underachievement.
Parents, educators, and mentors play a crucial role in helping teenagers navigate peer pres sure. By fostering
open and supportive relatio iiships, adults can provide a safe space for teenagers to discos s their experiences and
concerns. Proiiioting critical thinking, assertiveness skills, and self-confidence can empower teenagers to resist
negative peer
pres sure and make independent, healthy choices.
