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.

What forces are things that occur in nature?

Technically, all things that occur in nature are a result of forces. The most basic are the four forces that affect space-time, they are: gravity, weak force, strong force, and the electromagnetic force. Not too long ago we used to consider them as five because the electromagnetic force was understood to be two separate forces, the electrical force and the magnetic force. Today they are combined into one. The hope of physics is to unite them all into one force and this was called, in Einstein's time, the Unified Field Theory.
