Answer:

As a Teen influence does indeed play a big factor in what you do, say, or think. Peers are often strong influences in adolescence as everyone wants to fit in, everyone wants to feel apart of something. Doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing, especially in a "Not Cool" way can seem humiliating and embarrassing at times. Nobody want's to be a social reject. Most ways peers influence each other positively would be through decision making, say you need advice on your relationship. In this instance if your peer is more knowledgeable about this person, or how this works that'd be good advice. However if say the peer wasn't looking in your best interest they'd tell you something ridiculous and you, wanting to fit in would go along with it.
