health~ peer pressure

     In health we are learning about Peer pressure. Peer pressure is not pressure from people you know, it is pressure from people your age that you know, or even someone your age that you haven't met yet. peer pressure can be in a positive way like, meeting new friends, or joining a team, or club. Some types of peer pressure can also be negative, like bulling or being forced to do something.

In health we also learned some strategies to help you deal with negative peer pressure like....

*assert yourself with physical confidence
*say no firmly
*say goodbye and leave
*give a reasonable excuse
*repeat your decision
*tell reasons
     and
*tell an adult
These are all good ways to deal with negative peer pressure.
