InfoBus session tonight @ 6.30pm AEST: Peer pressure + friends.
I think we've all been faced with pressure from our peers at one time or another - and it sucks!
It can seem that we get the most pressure from the people who are supposed to be our friends. We don't want to disappoint our friends - and we don't want to be pushed out of our group of friends...so what do we do?
Go through with something we don't want to do?
Say 'no'?
What can we do?
Here's some fact sheets from the RO site to set the scene for tonight's disucssion.
Managing peer pressure to drink
Managing Pressure to take drugs
Managing relationship pressures
I thought it'd be ace if we could all get together tonight on the InfoBus (@ 6.30pm) and talk about things that have worked when we've been faced with peer pressure. I think if you come online tonight you'll definitely see that you're not alone if you are experiencing pressure from friends or others.
I hope to see you there! Come hang wid me :)

Reply Reportmy friend who came in term 2 this year,, shes the person whos friends with everyone. i dont like people like that but since shes my friend ill ignore it. shes being hanging with us and other people too but other people keep saying stuff behind my back and how bad our circle of friends are.. so she was pressured to go hang out with the "popular" people..
a lesson ive learnt a year ago,, mightve applied. "learn to let go..". its kinnda hard to when all the people you've said that are ur friends back stab you and talk behind your back..
