Very good topic...Mona...actually my son wrote an essay on this for his college admission...
Actually it depends on the person who is coming in contact with the different types of groups..if that person is strong he will change his peers otherwise he will get changed...
It can be both good and bad...but mostly we take it in the bad sense...usually if the child has gone berserk during the school years...or drinks or smokes..it will be blamed on his peers by the parents...but if the child his good parents will take the credit...

I can't blame peer in this case its more of human nature... Accha mera bura reserved for scapegoats ... the fact is some where Parents does that in social pressure, they look for scapegoats to blame them for their kids ruined life, which they shall be responsible for (of course upto certain age). Half the teenagers who smokes blame the peer pressure of proving themselves cool and funky.

Leave aside Teenagers we in office does the same, we change our attitude and aptitude accordingly specially people in consulting ... damn they switch to fake accent and trust me that makes it even worse

I was reading this somewhere according one research people end up overspending because of peer pressure and status... people buy things which they don't even need or afford because other has it ...

In order to avoid peer pressure perhaps the right company will make one less vulnerable.

Oh Monay ji😆
When a friend has something nice, I guess everyone tries to keep up.
Wonder if there is peer pressure to study hard too ?
Parents would love that.

Ah I used to study only when exams was around the corner.
Peer pressure was to go out and play.
