Peer pressure can significantly influence a teenager's lifestyle choices in various negative ways. Here are two key examples:
1. **Risky Behaviors**: Teenagers may engage in risky behaviors such as drug and alcohol use, reckless driving, or unsafe sexual practices to fit in with their peers or seek approval. The desire to be accepted or to mimic the actions of friends can lead them to make choices that jeopardize their health and safety.
2. **Academic Choices**: Peer pressure can lead teenagers to prioritize social activities or conformity over their academic responsibilities. For instance, they may skip classes, disengage from schoolwork, or choose easier courses to align with peers who do not value education. This can negatively impact their academic performance and future opportunities.
