All except the first.

Peer relationships can harm social health by lowering a person’s self‑esteem (bullying, exclusion, criticism), by creating unhealthy dependence on peers (loss of autonomy, poor decision‑making), and by forming groups that promote risky behaviors (substance use, delinquency). “Encouraging a person to remain inactive” is more a physical‑health concern and is less directly a negative effect on social health.
