The Agony of Peer Pressure
Brainfeed
|November 2016
Peer pressure is best illustrated during the adolescent years which is noticed when youngsters follow a trend more so to ‘fall in line’. Daring not to risk defying the majority, teenagers go with the crowd- a herd mentality is what I would like to put it.
The desire to look and think like others causes problems for those who can’t conform. I know a blind fifteen-year-old girl who refused to admit she had a handicap. She would not accept the help of a special teacher provided by the school. The thump along the corridor marked her as different from her peers, and she could not tolerate the distinction. One day as she walked to her next class with her head erect, as though she knew where she was going. Before I could stop her, she walked straight into a post. Even this experience was insufficient to make her use a helping device.

Spend on Education an Investment for Future

Not many in India could say so as parents force children to quit school, especially in the hinterland. It is not just girls but even boys drop out for various reasons. So much is spoken about the demographic dividend and the power of youth in India. However, this ‘power’ can only be harnessed if the children go to school.
