Question

select the correct answer.
why are teens so easily influenced by peer pressure?
a. because teens are at a point in their lives when they question their parents and rely more on their peers
b. because parents neglect their children when they are teens, giving teens lower self-esteem
c. because teens mature at different rates and so many bigger teens bully smaller teens

Explanation:

Adolescent development involves a shift in social focus from parents to peers, as teens seek independence and social acceptance, making them more susceptible to peer influence. Option B is incorrect because parental neglect is not a universal experience for teens. Option C is incorrect as differing maturity rates and bullying are not the core reason for general peer pressure susceptibility.

Answer:

A. because teens are at a point in their lives when they question their parents and rely more on their peers
