Peers play a large role in the social and emotional development of children and adolescents. Their influence begins at an early age and increases through the teenage years. It is natural, healthy and important for children to have and rely on friends as they grow and mature. Peers can be positive and supportive. They can help each other develop new skills, or stimulate interest in books, music or extracurricular activities. However, peers can also have a negative influence. They can encourage each other to skip classes, steal, cheat, use drugs or alcohol, share inappropriate material online, or become involved in other risky behaviours. The majority of teens with substance abuse problems began using drugs or alcohol as a result of peer pressure. This pressure can happen in person or on social media. Kids often give in to peer pressure because they want to fit in. They want to be liked and they worry that they may be left out or made fun of if they don’t go along with the group. Here are some tips about peer pressure to follow: ● Stay away from peers who pressure you to do things that seem wrong or dangerous. ● Learn how to say “no,“ and practice how to avoid or get out of situations which feel unsafe or uncomfortable. ● Spend time with other kids who resist peer pressure. It helps to have at least one friend who is also willing to say “no.“ ● If you have problems with peer pressure, talk to a grown up you trust, like a parent, teacher, or school counselor.
