Peer Pressures

In Health we are learning about peer pressures. Their are two types of peer pressures. The two peer pressures we are learning about are Negative and Positive Peer pressures.

Peer pressures  are a role in the social of kids. The influence of pressures begins at an early age and becomes a habit through the older years. It is a natural and important for kids to have and rely on friends as they grow up with these pressures. Peer pressures for little kids would be positive and for teenagers it would be a negative pressure.

An example of a negative peer pressure is your peers asking you to steal something. An example of a positive peer pressure is your friends asking you to tryout for a sports team. There are ways to avoid negative peer pressure.  To avoid negative peer pressure you are most likely to walk away from them or tell an adult. If it occurs at school you can tell a teacher or an e.a. Other ways to avoid it is also to tell them that you aren't going to do it even thou they force you into it, can call 911 depending on how serious what they are leading you into and also to defend your self if they start holding you down, I don't recommend to punch or kick them..
