How can young people assert their individuality in the face of so many challenging group influences?
Most people want to be accepted by their peers. Peer pressure can be a positive influence and encourage us to do our best, however it can also have negative consequences. The pressure to 'fit in' with friends, at school or at work can affect the way you talk, dress and behave. It can be direct, indirect or sometimes the pressure can even come from yourself. Peer pressure can influence us to do something we usually would not do, or prevent us from doing something that we would like to do. How do you identify and handle peer pressure like teenage popularity issues, bullying, risk-taking behaviours (dating pressures, sex, drugs) and social pressures to look and act certain ways?
