The diversity issues surrounding peer pressure should be considered in future studies. As the number of approaches grows, it is first proposed that future research will solve the study's limitations. Further research into the effects of peer pressure
among students should be conducted in other faculties at National Economics University, according to the researchers. Peer pressure among adolescents should be studied further in the future. This could highlight the extent to which peer pressure affects adolescents. This could also help to identify potential strategies for assisting NEU students in coping with peer pressure and improving organizational performance.
In the present, peer pressure is a common issue that many students from every level of ages face up with. However, in many schools, the problem is usually underestimated due to the lack of communication between teachers and students.
Therefore, a subject to help students to find the solution for the issue should be created. By doing this, the authors believe not only decrease the percentage of students affected negatively by peer pressure but creating a subject like this will probably be a way for students to enhance communication better and better. The gap between teachers and students will be shortened and this also can improve the quality of students when studying in class.
