Friendship is a state of being emotionally attached to another person, resulting from feelings of affection. It is also a warm and intimate relationship with someone you like and trust. Friends provide a basic source of happiness, pleasure and companionship.

Positive and Negative peer pressure

Almost everyone has experienced peer pressure before, either positive or negative. Peer pressure is when your classmates, or other people your age, try to get you to do something. It is so easy to give in to peer pressure because everyone wants to fit in and be liked. Especially when it seems like “everyone is doing it”. Sometimes people give in to peer pressure because they do not want to hurt someone’s feelings or they do not know how to get out of the situation so they just say “yes”.

How do I resist peer pressure?

• Understanding your own values and beliefs
• Have Self-confidence
• Choose your friends wisely
• Talk to a trusted adult
• Don’t make excuses – say exactly how you feel

How do peers pressure?

• Insults: making a person feel bad for not doing something so that they eventually will

• Rejection: pressure by threatening to end a relationship or a friendship
• Unspoken pressure: simply seeing all your peers doing something or wearing something can be s form of pressure
