Peer pressure is a real problem that teenagers face today. It affects children and puts the pressure on them.
There are different kinds of pressure. Teenagers are taught to smoking, drinking beer and other alcohol drinks, having sex even if they are not ready and to wear too extravagant clothes.
Sometimes elder children may put the pressure on you to take part in something you do not wish to do. Unfotunately, many teens are afraid to say NO as they do not want to lose the respect of their classmates. But really this is the false impression about respect. There are different ways to avoid the pressure on you.
-You should find someone to share your problems with and talk to him/her.
- Change one's mind and try to assure that you have a different opinion about something.
-Your own strengh can help you to stay firm.
-Be confidient in doing something that you know better.
-Pay attention to your personal feelings what is GOOD and what is BAD.
-Find new hobby ( or pay more attention to your old one), do sports.
If you still find it difficult to handle yourself, just again talk to someone you trust.
