It's a common saying thst any sheep that walks with a dog will definitely eat its dung. But then on the other hand, I believe there is something called choice.
As much as peer pressure can be a major factor in determining who you are going to be, Isrikkm want to say that whatever you leave yourself to do is what ire definitely going to do but then when it comes to reading, peer pressure can affect you either positively or negatively.
We have friends who can influence you to read and be a better person and at the same time we have friends that would do otherwise.
Looking exclusively at those friends that would affect you negatively, they are usually the ones who don't read, they barely have notes to read and are not always in class. They do not see a reason why they should read, they are the ones that prefer to read some days to when exams will start.
When as a student you start seeing this signs in yourself, just sit back and look at the kind of friends that you keep. If truly you have been influenced by them then you need to change the people you walk with.
Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are is not just character wise, but it also involves and engages the academic life of any individual.
