Teens and Peer Pressure

Supporting healthy friendships, modeling responsible behavior and keeping an open, judgment-free family dialogue are three key components of maintaining positive parental influence on a teenager. A group dynamic can be a positive peer influence if the behaviors are healthy, age-appropriate and socially acceptable. For instance, if a peer group wants to make good grades, a young teen can be positively influenced to study. Or if a popular friend wants to earn money and save to buy a car, a less outgoing teenager may also be influenced to get a job and open a savings account. If members of the football team take a pledge to abstain from drinking alcohol to focus on staying healthy and having a winning season, other students may adopt the same behavior. It is also important to talk openly and honestly with teens about what peer pressure is and how it can lead to positive or negative outcomes.

Positive vs. Negative Peer Pressure

A 2020 study used a number of personality and peer influence measures to identify characteristics of adolescents who are more susceptible to peer pressure. Who should we be friends with, what subjects should we choose, where should we work, how much money should we save, where should we buy our new house, are all decisions that we need to take each day. If that was not confusing enough, we all have a huge circle of peers, including our friends, co-workers, and those we interact with on social media, who influence our decisions directly and indirectly.
