Peer pressure is when people your age influence you — sometimes subtly, sometimes directly — to do things that might not fit your values or comfort level.
Question 2 True / False
All peer pressure is bad and you should resist it no matter what.
TTrue
FFalse
Answer: False
False. Peer pressure can be positive too — friends encouraging you to try a sport, study harder, or be kinder. The key is whether it aligns with your values.
Question 3 True / False
If you want to do something different from your friends, you have to do what they want to avoid losing them.
TTrue
FFalse
Answer: False
False. Real friends respect your choices even when they're different. If they pressure you to do something you don't want, that's not friendship.
Question 4 Multiple Choice
A friend group wants to try something you're uncomfortable with. The best approach is:
AJust do it to fit in
BSay no clearly, and if they pressure you, remember that real friends respect your choice
CAvoid the group from now on
DPretend you're into it
A real friend respects 'no.' If they keep pressuring, that's not friendship — it's manipulation.
