How peer support affects student’s academic performance

The grades of students were highly linked with peer support. Supportive peer

relationships also encourage rather than discourage achievement for African

American adolescents and give a more favorable image of African American peer

groups that are frequently portrayed in regards to academic achievement as

predominantly negative. (Moneva, Legaspino 2020) Caltern's (1998) findings confirm

this, stating that there is a strong association between school adjustment behavior

and peer acceptance.(Fadare et al., 2021) 

Peer acceptance and friendships within the school environment support sentiments

of school belonging and school liking, both of which are essential for academic

motivation and success. (Gallardo et al., 2016) The child's equal status with the other

children makes learning relatively easy in the peer group. In a friendly environment,

there is a free atmosphere in which each youngster readily learns the way of the

world from others' knowledge. (Fadare et al., 2021) When a person is with his or her

classmates and friends, the intensity of the activity increases, whereas spending

time alone results in much less intense activity. (Moneva, Legaspino 2020) 

According to research, peer rejection has a negative impact on the behavioral

issues and school attendance of the students (both current and past). Peer rejection

is upsetting to a child, especially when they are adolescents. Some kids have been

known to perform poorly in school, not because they lack the academic skills to

succeed, but rather because they feel upset over not being fully accepted by their

peers. (Fadare et al., 2021) Additionally, several studies have demonstrated a

constructive association between peer relationships and performance. Buote (2002)

agreed, while Montero (1990) noted that pupils who fail in school are the ones who

are most shunned by their peers.(Fadare et al., 2021) 

 Different peers signal their independence by showing behaviors kept for adults and

by acting in ways that are different to adult authority. Doing so increases their status

with peers. Fearing a loss of respect, high-status individuals respond by imitating

behaviors that signal development. Lower status individuals follow suit. Conflicts with

parents break out over efforts to escape inaccuracy and adapt to peer expectations

(Laurseen & Veenstra, 2021).

Adolescent social environments may affect teenagers during their

adolescence, because teenagers tend to communicate more with their peers during

this period. As children grow and approach adolescence, teens become more reliant

on their peers than their parents, particularly in making decisions and developing

moral ideals in life (Uslu, 2013). According to studies, the influence of peer groups

on students might increase their worry, particularly when it comes to their education

(Kadir et al., 2018). Because the group's ties with its peers are intertwined, the

direction of these relationships should be watched while taking into account all

conceivable elements connected with the group's outcome (Wilson, 2016). Similarly,

peer influence does not directly affect teenagers in a bad way, but it varies in how

much and how the students receive the environment of the group's peers (Mosha,

2017). When a student is affected and motivated by his friends, he does well in

school and achieves high grades in mathematics (Boechnke, 2018). With the

necessary peer support, students tend to flourish and exceed their capabilities,

concentrating more on their studies and performing well in academic duties at school

(Olalekan, 2016).

         Hence, most respondents know-how and develop a helpful result from being

under academic pressure. According to the study by Moldes, et al. (2019), youth is a
stage of uncertainty. Student's academic performance is grounded on their tactic

toward the people around them.
