How to Deal with Peer Pressure
094 向秦丽Growing up and learning to live in the world is not always an easy task as there are many pressures. In our daily life, pressures come from different aspects, such as families, friends, jobs, and schools. Peer pressure means the strong influence that friends of our own age exerted on us. This influence can be either good or bad. Y ou can benefit from the good influence of peer pressure, but how should you deal with the bad influence?
First of all, you should have the heart to say “no”. It is tough to be the only one in a group who says “no”when others say “yes”, but you can make it. Y ou should persist in your own feelings and beliefs and stand your ground. For example, your roommates try to talk you into cutting class to go shopping with them. Say “no”to them no matter how many friends implore you and how attractive it sounds. Resist any temptation. Do not yield to the fear of losing friends if you disagree with them. Remember a real friend won’t say, “I’ll be your friend if you…”True friendship endures despite disagreement, so don’t sacrifice your principles.
Secondly, ally yourself with peers sharing similar values or interests. On the one hand, it’s wonderful to have friends with similar values, for they will stand by you when you don’t want to do something. They are willing to say “no” with you, which will make it much easier for you to get through the peer pressure. On the other hand, if you hang out with those who don’t cut class, or smoke cigarettes, or playing much computer games, or other things you have no interest in, you probably won’t feel much pressure to do these things.
Thirdly, turn to someone you trust for help if you find it difficult to handle the pressure by yourself. Sometimes, because of immaturity and compassion, it’s hard for you to say “no”to some peer pressures, although you may know such things are wrong. Under these circumstances, you should resort to someone else. For example, a bunch of friends beg you to invest money to a business. They list many merits of the business such as you can gain triple or more of the money you invested. When you say “no”, they present you more benefits. What should you do? In this case, you should counsel your parents or some experts in this field.
To conclude, you can restrain the negative influence of peer pressure by sticking to your principles, finding allies and seeking help from someone else. Although how to deal with the peer pressure can vary from case to case, we should weigh all the options and consequences before choosing what’s best for us. It is not easy, but we’ll grow tougher once we make it.
