 Abstract

The study dealt with the Effect of Peer Pressure on the Academic Performance
of the students in Grade 10- Courage at Quinabigan National High School. There
were twenty-eight (28) respondents which are composed of males and females from
Grade10- Courage.
The most serious problems that prevent students from bringing out their talent
and knowledge in the classroom is Peer Pressure. This is a really serious problem,
because a student who feel Peer Pressure sometimes under-estimates their abilities,
they doesn’t believe in themselves. But the problem of Peer Pressure is a natural
problem for students. We will have this problem as knowledge develops in the
classroom.
Lastly, the study recommends that students who negatively affects by peer
pressure the should be assisted to enable them cope with the challenges and the
School, Government, the district, parents and the community should ensure that the
learning environment is made conducive enough for meaningful students' academic
performance to be realized especially in facilitating of clubs at school, for example by
introducing Peer Support Groups and Community Service Clubs.
