Peers are the people of which a person associates.
Peers have a strong influence on person’s thoughts, actions, and will also play a key part in how a person develops and will determine who a person will become. Peers always have an influence but occur especially in a person’s youth.

What ultimately helps troubled teens understand conformity and how it applies to them is to show them how to be themselves while taking part in healthy, beneficial activities. Development of skill or interests is an excellent way to help troubled teens understand themselves better and transcend the problems that peer pressure brings. When it comes down to it, even if troubled teens think that acting against their parents’ wishes is an act of nonconformity, they ultimately conform to something, whether that is drug abuse or negative behavior.

Environment
n.noun
en·vi·ron·ment
The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines environment as the surroundings or conditions in which a person, animal, or plant lives or operates. A person's environment, or social surroundings, have an enormous impact on the way that person thinks and operates. If a person is surrounded by negativity, he/she is more likely to replicate that negativity and display negative behaviors in other areas of life.
The environment of a troubled teen can often be the root cause or factor in the troubled adolescent's negative behavior. When an impressionable teenage boy or girl is surrounded by negative peers, it is common for these teens to develop negative behaviors themselves. It is for this reason that parents should be aware of their child's social surroundings and environmental influences.
If a teenage boy or girl is troubled, a total change in their environment may be in order. By replacing a troubled teen's negative environment with that of a therapeutic, nurturing and rehabilitative environment, troubled adolescents are able to emotional, therapeutic and behavioral restoration.
where positivity and good behavior are the norm, the effect that this can have on your student can be immense. Pursuing interests and dreams often is the best antidote to the poisoning effect that peer pressure can have on students. Taking part in bad behavior only leads to worse behavior down the road. When everyone else is doing drugs and throwing their lives away, the act of pursuing one’s dreams is the biggest act of nonconformity possible.
