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.

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.

Correct Answer(s)
A. Listen to the other person's viewpoint
C. Don't make it personal
D. Disagree with the idea, not with the person
F. Stay calm
G. 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.

Rate this question:

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.

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)

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.

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.
