Back to School Blitz: How to Deal With Peer Pressure

As many of us are heading back to school whether it be middle school, high school, or college we all will have to deal with peer pressure. But the question is where will you stand when it’s happening? Will you be the one being peer pressured to smoke that cigarette? Take a drink of the alcohol? Or will you be the one doing the pressuring? Will you be joining in with everyone to make fun of someone and pressure them into something? Lets be honest…we all have been in both positions.

With this new school year starting up I challenge every teen girl to be supportive and stick up for what is right. Stick up for the girl who is being made fun of because she won’t cheat on her test. Stick up for the girl who is getting made fun of because she won’t drink or take it far with her boyfriend. We are all different and can make our own decisions, we don’t need others trying to force them upon us. So this school year, take a stand against peer pressure.
