Question

Peer pressure is when someone is pressured to do something by members of their social group. It can be a very powerful force that encourages someone to do something that he or she is not comfortable doing. Negative peer pressure may involve drugs, alcohol, tobacco, shoplifting, truancy, academic dishonesty, or sexual activity. If you felt that you were being pressured to do something that you were not comfortable doing, and you felt was wrong, how would you handle the situation?​

Answer 1

As someone who has been negatively peer pressured, saying no is easier said than done. My ex-friends once tried to get me to vape, I was not comfortable with vaping at all. They asked me if I wanted to try it when we were hanging out one afternoon. I told them no, and instead of being okay with my decision, they said that I should and that it's so much fun. I said no again and that still was not enough for them. They told me again that I should try it and that I wouldn't regret it. So finally I got up and left (we were at the elementary school that was right by my house), and went home. I stopped hanging out with them after that. If I would in a situation like this again, I would tell whoever was peer pressuring me no and if they were still pressuring me, I would get up and walk away, or call one of my parents to come get me.

Answer 2

I wouldn't accept especially if I wasn't comfortable doing it. If they would pressure me more, I'd find a close restroom and either call or text someone trust, or i'd get out the situation. Being under peer pressure is a big thing, and not knowing what to do is even worse.
