Question: I need a response to this reply: Ashley to your second question about peer groups, I think they have a tremendous influence. It's during the years of adolescence that peers have the most impact in fact. I believe we experience "group think" more often during those years than any others. With the impact of peer pressure and the desire to fit in, many adolescence may struggle to develop a sense of self that lends itself to the healthy development of perspective-taking. I find that those who have the greatest ability toward resilience are also those who are most likely to resist the impact of these pressures. Dr. McLaurin. Need Assignment Help?
