Are Peer Relationships More Influential Than Family During Teenage Years?

When I think about whether friends or family have a bigger impact on us during our teenage years, I believe it’s a bit of both.

But friends usually take the lead sometimes.

Social Pressure
During our teen years, we are always around our friends. Their opinions can change how we make choices about clothes, music, and even how we act.

Finding Ourselves
As we begin to understand who we are, we might move away from family traditions to fit in with our friends.

Family Still Counts
Of course, family is still super important. They have helped shape our values and beliefs since we were little. Their support is like a safety net that we really need.

So, while friends might seem more influential when it comes to trends and social stuff, family is still the foundation of who we truly are.

It’s a balance, but those friend vibes can really change things up during our teenage years!
