Peer pressure is when someone is pressured to do something by members of their social group. It can be a very powerful force that encourages someone to do something that he or she is not comfortable doing. Negative peer pressure may involve drugs, alcohol, tobacco, shoplifting, truancy, academic dishonesty, or sexual activity. If you felt that you were being pressured to do something that you were not comfortable doing, and you felt was wrong, how would you handle the situation?

Answer:

If I was being peer pressured into doing something negative or something I was not comfortable with I would think about how doing it would affect me and my future.

It is better to lose bad friends then make bad decisions.
