This statement is true and falls under evaluating a healthy and safe friendship
Explanation:
If you want to keep a healthy and safe friendship it is important to evaluate the friendship by interacting with peers and friends because this can positively and also negatively affect one's health. Hence it becomes possible to understand the friends who provides positive effect on your health and safety and maintain such friendship.
Peer pressure is the influence people of your age may have on you which includes how you think,feel and act.
NEGATIVE INFLUENCE OF PEER RELATIONSHIP; Encouragement to participate in a clean-up campaign example to clear thrash from a roadside, agreeing to work with your peers
in this campaign benefits your social health because you have the
opportunity to interact with others in positive ways. It also benefits the community by providing a cleaner environment.
Volunteering to serve food at a homeless shelter or working at a
Special Olympics event because a friend does so are other examples
of positive peer pressure.
Positive peer pressure may also involve not participating in risky
behaviors or activities. For instance, having friends who do not use
tobacco, alcohol, or other drugs may positively influence you to
avoid these harmful substances.
You can also use positive peer pressure to influence others in
healthful ways. You can be a role model by inspiring peers to take
part in a positive act or a worthwhile cause.
NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF PEER RELATIONSHIP; Peers sometimes pressure others to take part in behaviors or
accept beliefs that have negative consequences. The members of a
clique/group, for example, may be disrespectful toward people they do not consider acceptable to their group. Such behavior may involve persistently annoying others. Harassment in this case may include name-calling, teasing, or bullying. Negative peer pressure
may also lead some teenagers to engage in behaviors and habits that go against or contrary to their values. For instance, a peer might pressure a classmate to help
him or her engage in cheating and exam malpractice.
Manipulation is another way of exerting negative peer pressure
on others. is an indirect, dishonest way to control or
influence others.
