  • No, it is not OK to be pressured into kissing your boyfriend. You should never let anyone pressure you into anything you are not comfortable with.

What are Examples of positive peer pressure?

Peer pressure is not always bad. It can help you analyze yourself and contemplate on your ways of life. Some of the practices that the masses follow may actually teach you the way of living. You may be able to change yourself for the better. Looking at what others do, can help you bring about a positive change in your way of thinking. If you can pick selectively, peer pressure can actually result in a positive change in your way of life.

Knowing what the masses follow exposes you to the world outside your home. You understand the things going on around you. You are exposed to a wide variety in human behavior. Exposure to peer pressure gives you an opportunity to think about their tastes and their outlooks towards life. It gives you a chance to choose the best from what the masses do.

If you are fortunate to get a good peer group, your peers can play a vital role in the shaping of your personality. Their way of looking at life may influence you to change for betterment. Some of your peers are your close friends, who do not pressurize you to do things but rather inspire you to change yourself.

How do you get a defective family back together when your brother has been smoking pot?

  • It is solely up to the parents to set the rules of the house and if the brother is a minor to ground him. Some young people smoke Marijuana and it is not the worst thing that can happen, but often Marijuana in larger doses can cause depression or lead to stronger drugs and that is why most parents want to curb the use of Marijuana. Sometimes a family meeting with the parents and all siblings (if 12 years or older) sit down without yelling or screaming at the brother may be of help. Often peer pressure and simply growing up and learning can be the fault of your brother smoking Marijuana, but he has the ability to say no. Not all young people smoke Marijuana. If the family is defective over your brother smoking Marijuana then they are defective in other ways and perhaps family counseling would be a good place to start.
