dc.description.abstractThis study aimed to examine the impact of peer pressure on adolescent learners at a secondary school in Mongu, Zambia. It focused on how peer pressure affects students’ behavior and academic performance. The research, using a qualitative constructivist approach, involved 30 respondents: 16 students, 6 teachers, and 8 parents. Findings revealed peer pressures such as drug and alcohol abuse, skipping classes, and engaging in risky behaviors, which negatively influenced academic performance. Suggestions to address these issues included regular engagement with school authorities, providing accurate information, and keeping students occupied. A larger, broader study was recommended for deeper insights.
