    Peer pressure can influence people to change their values, attitudes, or behaviors to conform to a group. There are different types of peer pressure, including spoken, unspoken, direct, indirect, negative, and positive pressure. Negative peer pressure can cause issues like skipping class, stealing, cheating, bullying, or using drugs/alcohol. Positive peer pressure can promote growth through academics, leadership, or extracurriculars. Prevention strategies include talking to the individual, boosting their confidence, guiding their decisions, and teaching them to say no and set their own standards.
