Peer pressure is really tough and everyone goes through it. Well, I think that generally, if you know that what you are being pressured to do is wrong then don't do it. It is really a matter of what you know is right and what you know is wrong. Saying no can be hard but no matter what, if you choose to do the right thing than the outcome will benefit you in life. If you aren't sure about what to do than talk to your parents, they are there for you. If you don't feel like they will understand then go to a teacher or someone you really trust.

∙ 8y agoMe personally , im 14 and i have peer pressure everyday. And i handle it by talking to my friends, family and if something is really wrong i go to our guidance counclur,. Friends and family give so much support. if its your friends who are giving you peer pressure then maybe their not your friends. don't think you have to do what they do. stand out , be yourself , let them see the real you.. mainly taking about it helps, when people listen to your problems it makes me feel good and helps me

∙ 13y agoI'm sure you've heard this before, but, live above the influence. that doesn't mean just drugs, but on all negetive influences. if somebobey threatens that they won't be your friend unless you do whatever it is they want you to do, then they're not your friend.
a true friend would understand the fact that you care for yourself and will respect that. I mean sure, you might really wanna get high just to have fun, but it's always more than that. soon you'll be addicted and you won't be happy at all. So, you know that old argument that everybody's doing it? well, they're NOT.

∙ 9y agoPeer pressure is something that is very difficult to handle. The answer to this depends on the situation.
You can always use refusal strategies, such as "No," "That's not a good idea," or "I don't want to do that." If insistence continues, offer an alternative, such as "Why don't we do [whatever] instead?"
Sometimes the only solution is to walk away. No friend or amount of popularity is worth doing something that is dangerous or makes you uncomfortable. its poo and peer pressure is when u have to do something u don't like, like homework.

However, if you can't reach to your trusted adult and you're still stuck in the situation, You can call the police or a security service like child line. You just have to be brave enough to do it depending on how bad the situation.
