  • 2. 

    Respecting others and being honest is positive peer pressure.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Respecting others and being honest is considered positive peer pressure because it encourages individuals to make choices that are beneficial not only for themselves but also for those around them. When people are respectful and honest, they set a positive example for their peers, influencing them to adopt similar values and behaviors. This creates a supportive and healthy social environment where individuals feel encouraged to do the right thing and make positive choices.

    Three reasons why people give into peer pressure are:

    • They want to keep themselves busy

    • They want to appear grown up

    • They are afraid of being rejected

    • They want to become alcoholics

    • They don't know how to get out of the situation

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. They want to appear grown up
    A. They are afraid of being rejected
    A. They don't know how to get out of the situation
    Explanation
    The given answer provides three valid reasons why people give into peer pressure. Firstly, individuals may want to appear grown up, which could lead them to engage in certain behaviors to fit in with their peers. Secondly, the fear of being rejected can push people to conform to the expectations of their social group. Lastly, some individuals may not know how to navigate or escape from a situation where they feel pressured by their peers. The answer does not include the reason "They want to become alcoholics" as it is not a valid explanation for peer pressure.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    During an argument, how should one disagree respectfully?

    • Listen to the other person's viewpoint

    • Don't stay calm and make fun of the other person's ideas

    • Don't make it personal

    • Disagree with the idea, not with the person

    • Make fun of the other person's point of view

    • Stay calm

    • Use "I" statements to say how you feel

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Listen to the other person's viewpoint
    A. Don't make it personal
    A. Disagree with the idea, not with the person
    A. Stay calm
    A. Use "I" statements to say how you feel
    Explanation
    To disagree respectfully during an argument, it is important to listen to the other person's viewpoint and not make it personal. Instead of attacking the person, it is better to disagree with the idea itself. Staying calm and using "I" statements to express feelings can also contribute to a respectful disagreement. Making fun of the other person's ideas or point of view is not a respectful way to disagree.

    Two types of peer pressure are {blank/blank} or {blank/blank}.

    Correct Answer(s)
    spoken/direct or unspoken/indirect
    Explanation
    Peer pressure can manifest in two different ways: spoken/direct or unspoken/indirect. Spoken or direct peer pressure refers to explicit requests or demands from peers to conform to certain behaviors or beliefs. This can include direct persuasion or explicit peer influence. On the other hand, unspoken or indirect peer pressure refers to more subtle forms of influence, such as observing and imitating the behaviors of peers or feeling the need to fit in with a certain group. Both types of peer pressure can have a significant impact on individuals and their decision-making processes.

    Explanation
    Peer pressure refers to the influence exerted by individuals of the same age group, compelling someone to conform to a particular decision or action. It involves the feeling of being pushed or influenced by peers to make choices that may align with their preferences or societal norms. This pressure can arise from various factors such as the desire for acceptance, fear of rejection, or the need to fit in. Peer pressure can have both positive and negative effects on individuals, depending on the nature of the choices being influenced.

    Give an example of an "I" statement.

    Correct Answer(s)
    I feel sad when you tell me that I don't look nice, I feel embarrassed when you make fun of me
    Explanation
    The given answer is an example of an "I" statement because it expresses the speaker's feelings and emotions using the pronoun "I." The speaker is describing how they feel sad when someone criticizes their appearance and embarrassed when someone mocks them. By using "I" statements, the speaker takes ownership of their emotions and communicates them effectively to the other person.

    Give an example of a time when you experienced positive peer pressure from a friend.

    Correct Answer(s)
    I didn't feel like going to running but my friend begged me to come and I had a really good workout
    Explanation
    In this scenario, the individual initially did not have the motivation or desire to go for a run. However, their friend's persistence and persuasion acted as a form of positive peer pressure, encouraging them to join. As a result, the individual ended up having a great workout, indicating that the influence from their friend had a positive impact on their decision and overall experience.

    Correct Answer(s)
    Stand up straight, make eye contact, tell her that I don't want to do it, be assertive.
    Explanation
    The suggested answer is to stand up straight, make eye contact, and assertively tell the friend that you don't want to write something nasty about the teacher on the blackboard. This response is appropriate because it shows confidence, assertiveness, and respect for the teacher. By refusing to participate in the friend's dare, you are making a responsible decision to avoid potential trouble and maintain a positive relationship with the teacher.

    By saying leave her alone, we don't want to drink, lets go and do something else
    Explanation
    The suggested answer provides a solution to help the friend avoid peer pressure by asserting a collective decision not to drink and redirecting the focus towards engaging in an alternative activity. By using inclusive language ("we") and proposing an alternative plan, the friend can effectively support their friend in declining the drink without causing embarrassment or confrontation.
