peer pressure

Peer pressure is something that we meet every day and it can happen to everyone. A situation of peer pressure happens when people who are your age, like your classmates or your friends, try to influence how you act, to get you to do something.
.
There are situations in which peer pressure has a positive influence on us, like when we want to do something and our friends know that it's a dangerous thing. They pressure us not to do it and with this action they prevent us from getting hurt. In a situation like this peer pressure help us to go in the right way.
.
In addition, peer pressure has a negative side. For example, your friends wanted to escape from the lesson, but you didn’t want because you had an important test the next week, nevertheless your friends pressured you and finally you submitted to them .When the test came all your friends and you failed. Negative peer pressure makes us do things that we don’t really want to do.
.
Finally, I think that we can't avoid peer pressure. It is something that can affect our actions to the negative or positive,and when it happens we have to know how to control ourselves and do what we think is better.

Letters of advice...

20.1.09


Dear Noy…

I heard about your problem and I know it seems like there is no easy solution, but you must be realistic- what is more important: your life or your friend's opinion about your decision not to climb that mountain?

As I understood, your friends don't know that climbing on a mountain is dangerous. Maybe they conscious of the risk that they will take in this action, but it seems like their life isn't important to them.If they are really your good friends they may accept your decision and understand you!

I think you should tell your friends about the several people that were hurt while climbing that mountain and don’t be afraid of your friend's reaction, they can reject you or laugh at
you, but you may think that maybe you save your life.

Finally, I hope that I did help you with your problem, and remember, if you have any problem - listen to your heart, It will lead you to the right way.

Good luck!
Sara.
