Teenage Girls involved in sports feel better about themselves, both physically and socially, including getting in shape and maintaining a healthy weight.
Teenage boys are more likely to be violent or aggressive when they feel pressured. They also may become violent in order to maintain their place in the group.
Peer pressure can lead teens to engage in risk-taking behaviors.
Exercise has also been shown to reduce stress levels and help us to manage our emotions.
