Social pressures is the true amount of weight put on an adolescent's shoulders, this stress will get in the way of school work putting "school pressures" on the adolescent. Many would rather hang with their friends than work on an assignment. Then the student's grades will start to slowly plumet. I'm not saying that hanging out with your friends once is going to do this, but the iresponsibility of time management comes into play. There is a never ending chain of cause and effect between social and school pressures.
Social pressures go beyond affecting academic success, the adolescent's life can change drastically based on how they react to society. Everyone has heard the saying that friends have an immense amount of influence on their lives it is true, but based on how wise that individual is. Now that I look back, my friends have done the same and I probably at one point done the same to them without ever knowing. Social pressures can be interpreted as influence or peer pressure. This can count for drugs, alcohol, and violence, adolescents tend to be prone to go under the influence since our adult level of maturity has not developed yet. The best obvious choice is to stay above the influence since a minor mistake can ruin the lives of the ignorant.
