Question

1. which of the following statements is accurate regarding peer influence?

○ the decisions you make as a teen will rarely impact your life as an adult.
○ peers that want you to engage in negative things are bad people.
○ the most appropriate way to escape negative peer influence is to keep to yourself and not interact with your peers.
○ your peers can influence every area of your wellness.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• First option: Teen decisions do impact adult life, so this is incorrect.
• Second option: Peers encouraging negative behavior aren't necessarily "bad people" (they may be misguided, etc.), so this is incorrect.
• Third option: Isolating isn't the best way to avoid negative peer influence (positive peer interaction is healthy), so this is incorrect.
• Fourth option: Peers can influence physical, mental, social, etc., aspects of wellness, which is accurate.

Answer:

Your peers can influence every area of your wellness.
