The focus of the study is on peer pressure, which is an important factor in adolescent development and how it interacts with Internet use and dependence. Adolescents’ growing reliance on the Internet has led to peer pressure not only through traditional social interactions but also over extensive digital networks, resulting in psychological health problems and patterns of excessive online participation. This study gives measures to prevent Internet addiction and reduce free influence by identifying different types of free stress and influence on Internet usage. Finally, the study describes the relationship between Internet dependency and peer pressure among teenagers, so that we can better provide parents, educators, and policymakers with the necessary knowledge and tools that can support adolescents in managing their online interactions and maintaining a healthy balance between their digital and real-life experiences.
