These days everyone talks about peer pressure. For you to
know what peer pressure actually is you don’t have to “Google it” or anything,
it’s pretty simple. It’s typical to want to belong and feel part of a group.
There is nothing wrong with that at all in fact having good friendships in our
lives is really important to our happiness.
Peer Pressure is most common in teens. This is a stage of
life when we want to be independent, kind of like a “know it all” or like a
tough rebel from some action movie. A problem connected to it is that how
parents get actually worried, how other kids will affect their child. Odds are?
It’s actually not as bad as most parents think. Teens or kids rarely strong arm
each other into trying risky things; instead friends play a more subtle role in
our lives.
The real problem is how to handle peer pressure, because
honestly it can go either way it can be useful, comforting or play an
encouraging role or it could shatter your confidence and lead to a disaster.
But don’t be afraid, before you start getting worried and
all, it can be handled but with help. If you’re in a situation where you feel
threatened, being hurt or pressured into doing something your are not
comfortable with, you need to talk about it and tell someone. Tell a family
member, a close friend, a teacher, a counselor. It’s dangerous and
mind-throbbing to be in a bad situation and you shouldn’t have to deal with it
on your own.
Get support and get help, trust me you’ll be alright
