The impact of negative peer pressure can create environments in which individuals are intimidated to speak out on behalf of someone being hurt or harmed. It can also be negative when the group views other individuals as not worthy to be part of their group. For example, the influence can have negative effects if a peer group’s bullying behavior encourages others to laugh at someone. Peer pressure can impact bullying behavior both in positive and negative ways. How does peer pressure impact bullying behavior? – Peer pressure occurs when a peer group or individual encourages others to change their attitudes, values, or behaviors to conform to those of the influencing group or individual. When a child is on a team in which the coach or teammates view bullying behavior as “just teasing” or dismiss it as “kids being kids,” parents should first ensure that their child feels supported, and next address the concern directly with the coach or adult leaders by examining how the culture of teasing impacts team members. However, when the behavior meets distinguishing hallmarks, including no longer being fun or funny to the intended target, causing emotional distress, being repeated, or continuing despite the target’s desire for it to stop, it then reaches the level of bullying. Teasing, in and of itself, is not considered bullying. What should parents do when a team culture of teasing leads to bullying? – Merriam-Webster dictionary defines teasing as, “Making fun of or disturbing or annoying with persistent irritating or provoking behavior, especially in a petty or mischievous way.” Many children participate in teasing, both as the one exhibiting the behavior and the one being teased. On the other hand, children intending to cause harm and whose behavior goes beyond normal conflict will continue their behavior even when they know it's hurting someone. Children guided by empathy usually realize they have hurt someone and will want to stop their negative behavior. They read cues to know if lines are crossed, and then modify their behavior in response. In normal conflict, children self-monitor their behavior. Students who bully perceive their target as vulnerable in some way and often find satisfaction in harming them. With bullying, there is often a power imbalance between those involved, with power defined as elevated social status, being physically larger, or as part of a group against an individual.

It's up to each individual the kind of impact they have on a child and how that affects them in their lives, going onward.

One who was nurturing, went the extra mile to help whenever or with whatever I needed assistance with.encouraged a love of literature by inviting us to come over before school to read from her personal library, etc. I've had two very significant experiences with both types of teachers.
