Our peer group is the people we associate with who are similar in age, background, social status and interests. These people influence our beliefs and behavior.

Better grades for Teens: Goal Setting For Better Grades
One of the most important things you can do is to set clearly defined, realistic goals. The process of setting goals helps you choose where you want to go in life.
