Direct Negative Peer Pressure
Direct, spoken, negative peer pressure puts you on the spot through direct confrontation. You teen's peers want to convince you to do something you shouldn't do. When peers resort to this type of direct pressure, it's difficult for teens to find an excuse to do the right thing without risking ridicule.

Indirect Negative Peer Pressure
When it seems like everyone else is doing something-dressing a certain way or acting a certain way-teens feel a tremendous pressure to go along with the crowd and be like everyone else. Most teenagers don't want to stand out as being different. Everyone wants to fit in. No one has to say anything to your child, but just observing their peers will create peer pressure to be like them.

Positive Peer Pressure
Peers can be a positive influence too. Positive peer pressure can make a teen feel like they should join a sport or a youth organization because a group they admires is doing it. If your child is regularly hearing their friends talk about getting good grades, doing volunteer work and joining clubs, they might follow suit.
