Five reasons why peer pressure may lead to unsafe sexual behaviour.

Peer pressure can ofetn lead people, and in particular teenagers, to engage in unsafe sexual behaviour. Some of the reasons for this are:

1. A desire to belong in a particular group.

2. A fear of being left out, or on missing out on something everyone else has experienced.

3. A desire to demonstrate courage or maturity.

4. An inability to say no to the pressure to conform.

5. The assumption that a behaviour is not dangerous if everyone else engages in it.
