This study investigated peer pressure and its psychological effect on the academic performance of students in Akoko North East local government area, Ondo State, Nigeria. The instrument used for data collection was a questionnaire. A simple random technique was used to draw a sample which consisted of 120 secondary school students from three public secondary school. The population consist of both male and female students. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics. Based on the findings, the researcher discovered that peer pressure does not necessarily means negative influence, it can also be positive influence, also the kind of peers a student keeps or move with can influence his attitude, learning and academic performance. The recommendations made include that parents should encourage their children to have friends that would have positive influence on their learning, both at home and in school. Teachers should also pay attention towards encouraging peer group activities in schools especially in the area of group discussion.
