The Use of Peer Group Associations on Adolescent Risk Behavior: Implications and Prevention Strategies
Isi Artikel Utama
Abstrak
Peer group association plays an important role in shaping adolescent behavior, both in positive and negative aspects. This study aims to analyze the influence of social interactions in peer groups on adolescents' tendency to engage in risky behaviors and examine effective prevention strategies in reducing their negative impacts. This study uses a literature study approach by reviewing various previous studies that discuss peer group dynamics and their impact on adolescent behavior. The results show that peer pressure contributes greatly to adolescents' decisions to adopt certain habits, including risky behaviors such as substance abuse, promiscuity, and aggressive actions. Other influencing factors include lack of parental supervision, poor character education, and uncontrolled exposure to social media. Effective prevention strategies involve various approaches, including increased parental involvement in children's lives, implementation of character education programs in schools, and strengthening the role of communities in creating a positive environment for adolescents. Utilizing digital technology as a medium for education and social awareness campaigns can help shape adolescents' mindset in dealing with peer group pressure. With comprehensive interventions and collaboration from various parties, it is hoped that adolescents can develop better resilience so that they can choose a healthy social environment and stay away from risky behavior.
