Written for Psychology of Adolescence, I examined the effects of peer pressure among peers overall. I had four central goals for the paper, which were: 1) the impact of peers on an adolescent’s risk behaviors; 2) to understand peers’ effect on an adolescent’s views and behaviors regarding romantic and sexual relationships; 3) the impact of peers on an adolescent’s relationship with his/her parents; and 4) the effect of peer drug- and alcohol-use on adolescents.
