Give one example of negative peer pressure

Give one example of positive peer pressure

Positive or negative? Explain
Your friend wants you to write/draw something funny about a classmates´ looks/culture on the whiteboard

Positive or negative? Explain
Your friend wants you to send a not so nice message about a classmate on the WhatsApp group of the class

Sometimes it is difficult to say no

Some ideas

• Give a reason why it’s a bad idea.
  

Say no, and explain why you feel this way. Maybe you can’t go to the party because its not worth the chance of being grounded. Maybe you don’t want to drink because you know someone who is an alcoholic and you can see how drinking has messed up his/her life.

• Make a joke.
  

Humour is a great way to change the topic and the mood. It can take the attention away from you.

• Make an excuse why you can’t.
  

Maybe you have something else to do, you have to be somewhere at a specific time, or your mom will kill you. It doesn’t matter what excuse you use, just stick to it.

Give a reason why it´s a bad idea
"You friend wants you to skip lessons"

Make a joke
"You friend wants you to skip lessons"

Make an excuse why you can’t.
"You friend wants you to skip lessons"

Some more ideas

• Suggest a different activity.
  

By thinking of something better to do, you’re offering everyone an “out.” You just might be surprised who might take you up on it.

• Leave the situation.

If you think the others are going to do something you don’t want to be involved in, just leave. You can make up an excuse, or you can say nothing at all. If you lead the way, others may follow.

• Thanks, but no thanks.
  

You can be polite, but you still aren’t interested. You can say, “It’s something I’m just not into.”

Suggest a different activity
"Your friend wants you to publish something not so nice about a classmates´ looks/culture on a social network"

Make up the weirdest excuse to leave
"Your friend wants you to publish something not so nice about a classmates´ looks/culture on a social network"

Be polite, but say that that´s not who you are
"Your friend wants you to write/draw something not so nice about a classmates´ looks/culture on the whiteboard"
