Peer editing is working with someone similar in age to help them improve, revise, and edit their writing. It is always the best decision to remain positive when doing so. Peer editing is not an easy task, because you do not want to hurt that person's feelings. In English 101 & 102, for each writing assignment there are peer reviews. It allows your peers to make compliments, suggestions, and corrections. in my own experiences, I felt that I would not edit someone's work correctly, when my own writings needed improvement. But peer editing in some ways is also constructive criticism.
Peer editing is important, because we should suggest words of encouragement to help someone else. It gives the reader the opportunity to find mistakes that you (the writer) may have missed. The editor can also suggest better word choice in the writing. So, in conclusion be mindful and stay positive.
