Have you ever been peer pressured to do something you didn't want to do? This blog I have decided to talk about, how not to give into peer pressure.

There will come a time in everyone’s life when your friends are going to want you to do something you have never done before.

You don’t want to look like a chicken in front of your friends so you think it will be okay to do it just this once. WRONG! That ‘one time’ can change you forever.

You never want to do something you would be to embarrassed to tell your parents. How would you like to tell your parents “I smoked weed today” or “I got drunk and had sex.”

“Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder” says kids health.

The quote is very true, growing up is already hard enough, so why should we have to have other people telling us we should try stuff that could harm our body?

One thing you always need to keep in mind; is the word NO! That one word can help you stay alive and healthy.

What do you do if your friends keep bugging you about trying a cigarette/alcohol/sex/drugs? Just say no and find new friends who won’t pressure you to do stuff you don’t want to do.

What do you do if you’re a party with drugs and all stuff that’s not safe? CALL YOUR PARENTS! I’m 100% sure they would rather come pick you up, then you getting in a car and could end up in the hospital.

Thanks for reading and please let me know any other topic. If you have one let me know personally or comment on any blog. Thanks!
