conclusion

Recommendations
The following are the recommendations that we would like to give after going through all our research and report work. Parents should become the role model for their children so that their children follow them rather following others. Parents should have authority over their children. Parents should Teach their Children to Recognize Negative Peer Pressure The best friend is one who guides his friend that what is good and what is bad, therefore we should all try to become a friend of such quality.
