Talk about your experiences of peer pressure

Positive peer pressure is when your friends encourage you to do something that benefits you or others, or when you inspire each other to achieve common goals. Some examples of positive peer pressure are:

• Encouraging your friend to exercise regularly and join you in a fitness class.
• Supporting your friend who wants to quit smoking or drinking and avoiding situations where they might be tempted.
• Volunteering with your friends for a local charity or community project.
• Studying together and helping each other to understand difficult concepts or prepare for exams.
• Standing up to bullying or discrimination together and promoting a culture of respect and inclusion.
• Expressing your creativity and sharing your talents with each other, such as writing, singing, or drawing.

Positive peer pressure can build trust, self-esteem, and social skills, and foster a sense of belonging and purpose. It can also contribute to a healthier and more positive school or community culture.
