I believe it has always been this way and isn't a new thing. It stems from a simple need to 'belong' and be accepted.
To give an example, if you study the social habits of prisoners you can see a lot of 'tribal' behavior, a new inmate will immediately seek out his own kind in order to belong. When I say 'own kind' I mean the people who display the closest affiliations with his/her own social background/ethnic group.
It's the same with teengagers and because they are still maturing and developing their own personalities they are more easily influenced by other people.
Peer pressure is strong for teenagers because they are at a stage of development where fitting in and belonging to a social group is crucial for identity formation. Teens are more susceptible to influence from their peers as they seek acceptance and validation. Additionally, teenagers often lack the experience and maturity to resist peer pressure effectively.
No, teenagers are not the only ones vulnerable to peer pressure. There is workplace peer pressure (at the place of employment.) There is peer pressure between the elderly and those younger than themselves (mainly relatives.) Peer pressure will always be a part of almost everyones life and each time the peer pressure must be weighed to see if it is worth telling anyone about or just let it go by the wayside. Some peer pressure can be good for another person who has lack of self esteem, but wilfully harming another person with peer pressure is wrong.
Good things for teenagers include opportunities for learning and growth, forming meaningful relationships, and developing important life skills. On the other hand, challenges that teenagers may face include peer pressure, academic stress, and navigating their own identity and emotions during a period of significant change and transition.
Teenagers hang out to socialize, have fun, and bond with their peers. It allows them to form connections, share experiences, and relieve stress from school or family life. Hanging out also helps teenagers develop social skills and navigate relationships.
Both a strong mind and a strong body are valuable assets in life. A strong mind can help with problem-solving, decision-making, and resilience, while a strong body can improve overall health, endurance, and quality of life. Ultimately, both are important for a well-rounded and successful life.

Teenagers life can be easier than those of adults. Teenagers main job is to get an education, or get trained in a trade so that he/she can move on with life. Food, shelter, clothing, and other reasonable expenses are borne by the parents. If teenagers can concentrate on what is expected from them their life can be easy. If however, the teenagers have unrealistic expectations, eagerness to bypass the time to mature but get rich, wealthy, and enjoy all the pleasures of life immediately, then life will not be easy. Add to this peer pressure and readily available distractions, a teenagers's life need not necessarily be easy. It is all a matter of choice.
peer pressure can occur at any age as soon as kids start school. you will face peer pressure at any age and time of your life

I have found the names of two fat camps. One is Camp Shane and the other is Wellspring Camps. Both are designed to support teenagers and help them to build the confidence to make real changes in their life. They don't just force teenagers into restrictive diets that they are bound to fail.
the pressure would crush them
A teenagers life is full of ups and downs, hopes and dreams, boys, break-ups, pier pressure, mood swings, parties, friends, socialising. To some this is the best part of your life. To others its the worst.
