Dear Sir,
IMPACTS OF PEER INFLUENCE
ON STUDENTS
It is my utmost delight to write to you on this very important issue which is a determinant of the future of our students. I am an educator who have been dealing with students for the past twenty years, and in the course of discharging my duty, I have taken my time to observe their ways.
Peer influence is a very strong factor that makes or mars the lives of our students. Students confide in each other and more importantly are easily convinced, and infact, intimidated by their friends. The kinds of friends a student keeps will determine what impacts such a relationship will have on him. There are students who form study groups among themselves, prepare for exams together and challenge themselves academically. This kind of relationship will have positive impacts on every member of this group. On the contrary, there are friends who only indulge in girl hunting, night parties, hard drugs, and all forms of negative acts.
The need for friendship for the progress of every individual in a society cannot be underestimated. It is therefore necessary to make the relationship among our students a productive one. Students should be sensitized on on how to identify friends of positive qualities, and the danger of keeping malicious friends. Teachers should form study groups for the students, this will keep them occupied and prevent them in engaging in uncivil activities. The parents have primary roles to play in ensuring that their children do not mingle with children of bleak futures. They should monitor their children always and ensure that they are in a healthy social circle at all times.
The media also has a great role to play. They should always sensitize the public on the need for keeping a productive friendship.
Yours faithfully,
Aruna.
