How do peers affect socialization?

If your peers are nice and easy to talk, then others will think you're outgoing and probably fun to be around. If your peers are rude and inappropriate, then people will think of you as a jerk or a bully.. If your peers don't really talk to other people, then they might see you as a shy person


Why is it only peers that experience peer pressure?

Peer pressure is typically associated with peers because it involves influence, both positive and negative, from members of one's own age group or social circle. Peers are more likely to understand the context, needs, and desires of each other, making their influence more significant. Additionally, the desire for social acceptance and belonging among peers can lead individuals to conform to their group's norms and expectations.


What is the impact of negative peers on a student?

The negative peers can drag the student down, by encouraging the student to engage in bad behavior. For example, a straight A student starts hanging out with the wrong people, and his grades go down to straight Ds.


Why do peers give in peer pressure?

Some people give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked and to fit in. Also they worry about other people making fun of them if they don't go along with the group. They could also be curious to try something new that others are doing.


Do peers impact your personality?

Yes, peers can impact your personality: Example: If you are in school and really want to fit into a group that may be cruel to others; gossip and are generally extremely immature then you will lose part of who you are if you have to change to fit in with this group. Then there are your peers that make for good friendships and you can learn a lot from each other and build on your character. Once out of school and in college or the workplace you now have the tools to decide how to handle the negative peer pressure and the positive peers you choose to hang around with.
