2. PEER PRESSUREPeer pressure is influence that a peergroup, observers or individual exerts that encourages others tochange their attitudes, values, or behaviours to conform togroup norms. Social groups affected include MEMBERSHIPGROUPS, in which individuals are "formally" members , orsocial cliques in which membership is not clearly defined. Aperson affected by peer pressure may or may not want tobelong to these groups. They may alsorecognize DISSOCIATIVE GROUPS with which theywould not wish to associate, and thus they behave adverselyconcerning that groups behaviours. 3. Peer pressure is most commonly associated with youth, inpart because most youth spend large amounts of timein schools and other fixed groups that they do not choose and areseen as lacking the maturity to handle pressure from friends. Also, young people are more willing to behave negativelytowards those who are not members of their own peer groups. Peer pressure can also have positive effects when peopleare pressured toward positive behaviour , such as volunteering forcharity or excelling in academics or athletics, by their peers. Thisis most commonly seen in youths who are active in sports orother extracurricular activities where conformity with ones peergroup is strongest. 4.

FACEBOOK ADDICTIONFacebook is an online social networkingservice, whose name stems fromthe colloquial name for the book given tostudents at the start of the academic yearby some university administrations in theUnited States to help students get toknow each other.

RISK BEHAVIOURWhile socially accepted kids often have the most opportunitiesand the most positive experiences, research shows that being in the popularcrowd may also be a risk factor for mild to moderate deviantbehaviour. Popular adolescents are the most socialized into their peergroups and thus are vulnerable to peer pressures, such as behaviours usuallyreserved for those of a greater maturity and understanding. Sociallyaccepted kids are often accepted for the sheer fact that they conform well tothe norms of teen culture, good and bad aspects included. Popularadolescents are more strongly associated with their peer groups likes suchas alcohol, tobacco and drugs. Some studies also show that many popularstudents also make lower grades than less socially accepted kids. This ispossibly due to the fact that popular students may spend more timeworrying about their social life rather than studying. Although there are afew risk factors correlated with popularity, deviant behaviour is often onlymild to moderate. Regardless, social acceptance provides more overallprotective factors than risk factors. 10. PICTURE BANK 11. UN-ETHICAL ACTIVITIES DUE TOPEER PRESSURE 12.
