Teen Peer Pressure - Parenting Relationships and the Easily Misled Child
Parenting Awareness: Among the most powerful influences upon a troubled teen is his/her peer group and the resultant peer pressure. A powerful negative peer influence can motivate a troubled teen to make choices, and engage in behavior that his/her values would otherwise reject. Once influenced, the at-risk teen may continue the slide into problems with the law, substance abuse, school problems, authority defiance, gang problems, etc.
Although parents may feel powerless as peer influence seems to take over their troubled teen, there are things that can be done.
The strength of the troubled teen can be utilized to bring about solutions, and to combat peer pressure. The challenge of maturity and strength, in lieu of punishment, is often a far more effective motivator. Such challenges, as explained in Michael Behning's workshops, can help the troubled teen realize that his/her own well-being is of greater concern than the well-being of a negative group or peer.
