Answer 2

Answer:

Peer relationships have the potential to help or hurt your overall health status.

Explanation:

If your peer relationships are healthy (focused and goal oriented peers), you'll most likely have the benefit of good, or at least well-intended, advice.  You'll have a social support system that can help you make decisions that impact social, intellectual, physical and emotional health. Therefore, you're likely to make decisions that are healthy.  

On the other hand, if your peer relationships are not focused and goal oriented, the relationships may be centered more on just having a good time and doing what is socially expected, without regard to life goals.  Therefore, you'll be likely to make decisions along the lines of what everyone else is doing or what feels good at the time.
