The Domino Effect
16
Since my magazine is about Peer Pressure there's clearly many components of health that go with it. A health component that is in my STF is Environmental Health. Environmental health goes hand in hand with Peer Pressure because if you are in a negative environment it would be more likely for you to be peer pressured. The other health component is Social Health because it all depends on the people that you surround yourself with. If you have a strong relationship it's less likely that you would get peer pressured by that person but if its a poor relationship then it's more likely.
