Peer Pressure is more brutal for girls than boys

 Peer Pressure is more brutal for girls than boys.



According to state research, strong pressure from drinking companions and teenage parties seems to have a greater impact on teenage girls than boys when struggling to decide whether to drink. 

 Published on Tuesday, the study was conducted by the research division of the National Institutes of Health. 

  Bruce Simons Morton, who led the study, wrote in the report that pressure from peers was positively associated with drinking between girls rather than boys.

 

 The data was generated from a confidential survey of drinking and smoking conducted on 4,200 teenagers in a Maryland middle school. 

 The idea that girls are more susceptible to friends than boys is supported by many experts who have studied this subject.  

It is not surprised at all. Girls experience this tremendous emotional and hormonal change in grade 7 according to Shannon, the writer of the subject, and talks about teenage self-confidence.・ McLinden states that Change happens when one is their own person and it is really important to try to stand on your own feet 

 New studies also show that for boys and girls, the most important predictor of whether teens start drinking or smoking is whether they have friends to do so, Simons. -Morton said. The study reports that the conclusions hold regardless of whether friends are openly putting pressure on teens. 

It has been discovered that the most important factor was the behavior of a girl with her five close friends said Simons-Morton. teenagers are nine times more likely to smoke than early adolescents who have no friends to smoke or drink.

 

 The finding suggests that traditional images of peer pressure — a dare given at a party, or a joke made at the expense of a nondrinker — may not always be the prime catalyst for a young person's decision.  Instead, Simons-Morton says that many teens seem to imitate the behavior of their friends. 


 The situation is also affected. Most teens who drink and smoke think their parents don't care. 

 A teenager who says his parents get angry when he gets involved in drinking or smoking is much less likely to drink or smoke, and vice versa based on the observation by Simons-Morton. 



 Consistent with other recent studies, Simons-Morton also found that parents involved in their children's lives (regular conversations, attending after-school events, listening to problems) have their children drink and smoke. I found that it was unlikely that I would do it. 

 This study also reflects recent studies that have puzzled many social scientists. White teens are more likely to drink and smoke than black teens. One doesn't know why it's true, but it's consistent with other important studies this is what many are investigating to look into this matter and solve it.
