The researchers aimed to examine the effects of peer pressure on the academic performance of 4th year students at Bagong Barrio National High School. They used a quantitative research method through surveys to gather data from 120 randomly selected students. The survey included questions about time spent with peers, behaviors influenced by peers, and peer encouragement of cheating or poor academic habits. The researchers then analyzed the survey results using statistics to determine if and how peer pressure impacted students' grades. They hypothesized that peer pressure would have varying effects on different students' academic performance.

CHAPTER III
METHODOLOGY OF THE STUDY
Research Design The quantitative research was primarily an explanatory research. It was used to gain a considerate of an underlying reasons, opinions and motivations. It provided insights into the problem or helps to cultivate ideas or hypotheses for potential quantitative research. Qualitative researchers aimed to gather an in-depth understanding of human behavior and the reasons that administrate such behavior. The qualitative investigated why and how of the following. By the used of this scheme, the researchers deployed the study to a more persuasive; resulting to a better understanding to a certain problem the study manages to work to. This method was evidently use in the survey roughly peer pressure via giving each respondent a questionnaire to fill up. Descriptive design was intended for depiction the participants in an accurate manner. The researcher used this design through specific questions which the selected student will respond, thus, leading this study into dynamic inquiry due to the participants remarkable respective level subsequent to useful information on developing the study. Informational in the other hand, is the tactic of providing useful information or knowledge. This application will be essential on the researchers study for the analyst or maybe another researcher can gather information and maximize the usage of it. This was tangible on every part of the research especially on Chapter II as it is obvious that the researchers have gathered a parallel study about stress. Analytical was the technique of relating to or the usage of logical reasoning. This design was evidently used in Chapter IV as the researchers have used statistics that computed the gathered data from the respondents.

The researchers limited the problem by specifying the common factors that affect stress (student profile, attitude towards stress, academic performance and health status) due to the alarming increase of students who got an inadequate grade because of peer pressure. The researchers hypothesized that the main effect of peer pressure among friends is that they have different effects affecting their academic performances. The researcher will use the qualitative way in the form of survey. But before the survey, the researcher will ask first the permission of the subject teacher, the head teacher, the year level teacher and the principal of Bagong Barrio National High School. From this will come from the data that the researcher needed to amass to give their conclusions towards the problem. The researchers will seek the help of statistician to analyze and interpret the data. This will give the research a suitable explanation on the problem. By following the steps accurately, the research will provide the latest information about the relation of stress to academic performance at Bagong Barrio National High School. This study can help those persons who have concern about the interruption of stress to the academic performance of the students. It would be a program/activity that will help the students to cope with stress or another research that may continue or contrast this study.
