Solution
This statement is true.
Explanation:
The objective of a peer group is to satisfy the desire to join a group. Peer groups give people, particularly children and adolescents, a sense of belonging, acceptance, and social support. Being a peer group member allows people to feel linked to others with similar interests, values, or experiences, providing the basic human need for social connection and belonging. This sense of belonging can be critical to emotional well-being and social growth.
