Troubled Teen Peer Pressure

A huge reason for teens to act defiant and get in trouble is peer pressure. Many teens have a strong desire to fit in. If they don't have many friends and a group takes them in, the child may feel like they owe it to the group to do whatever they are told to do. Even if it goes against what the teen has been taught at home, they will likely do it at any cost because they want to please their friends. When the behavior gets out of control, the best way to correct it is to get the teen away from the bad influence of the friends and put them in an environment where they can be influenced in a positive way.
