Peer Pressure

Mary is walking to her maths lesson. She has got a test, but she feels all right. Suddenly, Dan, the coolest boy in the class, speaks to her, "Come on!" he says. "Forget maths. Let's go into town!" Now Mary feels bad. She has to make a difficult decision. Should she go to maths because that is the right thing to do, or should she take the chance to be friends with the most popular person in the class?

If you have had an experience like this, don't worry. It is called peer pressure and it happens to everybody. However, people have different reactions. Confident people refuse to do things they don't want to do, but shy and anxious people often give in. It may be because they want to be liked. It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them, or perhaps they are just curious about trying something new. Whatever the reason, some people end up doing things they really don't want to do.

It is hard being the only one who says no and the question is - how do you do it? Firstly, you must decide what you believe in. If you think that missing maths, or smoking, or going somewhere you know your parents wouldn't like is a bad idea then the answer is simple. Don't do it. It is your decision, not anybody else's. You don't need to shout and scream, but you must be confident and you must be firm. You need to say, "No, thanks. I don't want to do that."

Of course, being on your own against everybody else is very hard, so it can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who will say no too. Choose your friends carefully. You want friends to support you when you are in trouble. You don't want people who will always agree with the majority. Remember, the most popular people aren't always the most trustworthy.

However, peer pressure is not completely negative. You can learn a lot from people of your own age. They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework. And don't forget you can tell them things too and that always feels great. So, find friends who have similar interests. And remember, friendship isn't about feeling depressed. It is about sharing experiences and having fun.
