The study was designed to determine the quality of parent-child relationship that adolescents from low SES and the peer pressure activities that they experienced. Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ) was administered to 160 private high school students whose ages range from 15-18 years old in order to determine their quality of parent-child relationship. The subjects were categorized into accepted and rejected. The sample comprises of 56 subjects where 8 Focus Group Discussion Sessions were conducted in drawing out their peer pressure activities. The data of the FGD was content analyzed. It was found out that accepted adolescents experience more peer pressure activities that are self-related while rejected adolescents experienced more peer pressure activities that are leisure activities. But in all four categories (self-related, activities done during family time, school-related and leisure activities), rejected adolescents experienced more peer pressure activities than accepted.
