Main summary
Key takeaways
Peer Pressure
Peer pressure happens when people your age encourage you to act a certain way or do something. Wanting to fit in is normal, but your choices should feel right and be safe.
Examples of peer pressure include dressing a certain way, stealing, cheating, bullying, or using drugs and alcohol.
Ways to Handle Peer Pressure
- Use your moral compass: Consider whether an action fits your beliefs and feels right or wrong.
- Say no: Trust your judgment, even if you worry others might tease you or exclude you.
- Stand together: Support a friend who is struggling to say no. Refusing as a group can make pressure easier to resist.
- Walk away: Leave situations where people urge you to do something harmful, wrong, or likely to get you in trouble. Seek friends who share your values.
- Talk to a trusted adult: They can offer support and help you prepare for future situations.
The central message is to be yourself, even when that means being different from your peers.
