Peer Pressure

Peer Pressure

People of our age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something it’s called peer pressure. It’s something which everyone has to face from a small kid to adult. The positive influence of peer pressure is for e.g.; a friend of your science taught you the easiest way to remember the names of the planets in the solar system or a soccer team friend taught you the cool trick with the ball. You might admire your sport friend and try to be more like him. In this way peer positively influence each other every day.

Sometimes peer influence negatively with each other for example a few friends in college try to cut class with them, your soccer friend try to be mean to another player and never pass her the ball.

It is tough to say no to the peer pressure but you can do it. Paying attention to your feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self confidence can help you stand firm. If you continue to face peer pressure and you re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. Dont feel guilty if you’ve  made mistake or two. Talking to a parent, teacher, or school counsellor can help you feel much better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure.   

Bullying

Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behaviour or influence to intimidate someone. This behaviour can include verbal harassment, threat or physical assault and it may be repeated towards particular targets. Sometime it is because of the differences of social class, race, religion, gender, appearance, behaviour, body language, size or ability etc.If bullying is done by group, it is called mobbing. It can be develop anywhere where people interact with each other. This includes school, college, workplace, family, neighbourhoods etc.

Some people find it very easy to ignore a bully, but others may find it very difficult to co-op up. Those who have been the targets of bullying can suffer from long term emotional and behavioural problems. It can cause loneliness, depression, anxiety and also lead to low self esteem. Bullying increases the risk of suicide. Bullying alone cannot be the reason to commit suicide. Depression is one of the main reason why people who are bullied commit suicide.

On the brighter side there are also positive outcomes from bullying It can teach life lessons and instill strength. Bullying can teach a child how to manage disputes and boost their ability to interact with others. And teachers should not interfere but leave the children to respond to themselves.
