     The overwhelming influence of peer pressure starts early in life and many at times goes unnoticed, children want to use toys majority of children use ,this is however a desire to conform it however becomes irritable as one grows up and their behavior  changes from toys love, to sex, drug abuse, violence, cultism, terrorism and other terrible vices too numerous to mention peer pressure is not all bad actually it can make an individual excel in life and more in his or her academics performances.

 Peer pressure is the influence on a peer group, observers and individuals that encourage, stimulates others to change their attitude and life style to conform to a group, it may even occur un-knowingly an individual may not know he has been positively or negatively influenced , the visuals may be seen in the change in dress patterns, style, behavior, appearance. Either way one can observe a lifestyle and start making conscious efforts towards being affiliated with the group the person appreciates

    Negative peer pressure should not be taken lightly especially when our teenagers of today have no identity and are always looking forward to the conform to the norm damning its consequences the fear of feeling different is a taboo and is highly prohibited in-fact it is like, a rape case to be left out these spontaneous effect, however it can be minimized although it varies from individuals to individual.

Home sweet home, this may not be the case for some people, home is where everything plays out first most people have been abused consciously and subconsciously this causes some people not to feel like they are integral part of the own family and drift to find open handed green families with an embrace the grip is tight it now becomes blood like  “smoke na you be correct boy “,”if na me I for don blow tha girl o” these are inciting statements said lightly but considered strongly it may also take the form of “mehn I gat blow five point the semester o “.

   Families should not leave any child looking for a second home as the consequences are detrimental both to the family and the black sheep when a child is given an identity by sequentially praising his qualities he has a good argument against the influence, further negative changes in behavior should not be taken lightly as a journey of a thousand mile starts with a step .To all who are old enough have an identity don’t be easily swayed to have a peer identity. Be yourself you are amazing just the way you are.
