Knowledge around peer pressure is rather sceptical in the township, and most immoral behaviours are rooted to this devastating shibboleth. The youth is most profound to en-counter this obscure catastrophe.
Deep rooted within our township peer pressure is a major dilemma, the youth en-counter words such as “uyi-bhari/isnayi” (a fool), words that kill emotions, just in the oath that the particular individual that is being pressured does not conform to the groups prescribed action they were requested to do because the certain action is apparently being done by the majority of the fraternity, and the victim is not doing what was advised by their peers.
These actions range from indulging into substance abuse, life risk taking, and sexual abuse. These scenarios often partake within the presence of peers, many victims of this recklessness do these actions so they could live up to expectations and ‘fit in’ to a certain level of being one of the loyal members of the group or the fraternity. Peer pressure has far more reaching complications than these mentioned that span into suicide, low self esteem, change of lifestyle, and irregular responsibility.
In our township most of the decisions made by the youth are formed by the ethnicity of others, decisions are then not formidable to what that particular individual tends to do with their life in prosperity, this leads to a life of regret in the later stages of adulthood. Though this configuration is subsequent, and the fear that the plot is never going to be extinct we live on to witness the formidable outcomes but we should look for ways to fighting this debacle we all under-go.
As a person you have grown out of morals and the morals taught you self-respect, fighting this problem is essential to every individual out there to make their own responsible decisions, let us relinquish and apply our own decisions that will build us a brighter and prospectus future.
