Resist peer pressure at school HOW

Peer pressure is simply a desire to do things which you don't like

doing but you give in and do it because you want to fit-in or accepted

by others.

Are you the type that always allow others mean your peers make

decisions for you? Or do you have the courage to stand up for your

convictions? Do you find it hard to stand up for what you know is

right? Well the truth is no, matter what you can! The key is to see

the pressure coming and decide in advance how you will respond to

it.Here is four steps that will help you deal with it

1. Anticipate: Often,you can see trouble in advance.for example you

see a group of your schoolmates up ahead,and they're smoking.How

likely is it that they'll offer you a cigarette?By anticipating the

problem,you'll be ready either to avoid it or to confront it.

2.Think: You might ask yourself,'How will i feel in the long run if i

go along with my peers ideas?' True,you might gain temporary approval

of your peers.But in the long run you will have to live with the

consequences.

3.Decide: Now is really when you have to decide to do what your peers

are doing or not,for example you have to decide to smoke with your

peers or not.Ok now is your turn to decide what will you do?

4.Act: You might think this is the hardest part.It's not! If you've

already thought about the consequences and made up your mind,stating

your position can be surprisingly easy and rewarding.you don't have to

give your peers a Bible lecture if you are a Christian.A simple but

firm no may suffice. The key here is to respond promptly and with

conviction.If you do you might be suprised how quickly your peers will

back off! But what if they mock you? Recognize this sort of taunt for

what it is pure peer pressure. But hy! How can you respond? Here are

three (3) options for you

¤You could absorb the taunt for example you could say ''You're right,I

am scared!''Then briefly state your reason.

¤You could deflect the pressure by stating your position,while not

making an issue over it.

¤You could return the pressure. How? State your reason for refusing

then appeal to your peer's intellect. For example you could say 'I

thought you were too smart to smoke!.
