REVIEW OF RELATED
LITERATURE AND STUDIES
 A study entitled "Student's Perspective on the Influence of
Peers Towards their School Performance" by Abapo et.al.
(2018) showed that an individual would properly react in a
way of adopting, improving and embracing the influences that
is beneficial, and on the contrary, if the deeds are against of the
will and beliefs, an individual would react in a way of
recognizing the circumstances and eradicate the influences that
can harm their way of choosing things. Peer influences the
behavior of young individuals in a way that it would depend
on the type of friends they belong. Furthermore, this can affect
positively the the school performance of students in a way
they became more responsible on doing school works.
 On the other hand, a study entitled "Peer influence and
Performance Task of Senior High School Students" by
Moneva (2020) revealed that there is a significant association
between the variables peer influence and performance task of
senior high school students. The result shows that peers can
influence the student's engagement in class and performance
task negatively. It shows from the results that peer destruct
the students in their studies. This means that if the peers have
a negative action, the students can influece, or vice versa.
