Realistically, you can’t hide from peer pressure. But you can know your mind, state your position, and take control. In the end, the choice is yours!

Peer pressure is one of the most powerful forces everybody is dealing with,especially teenagers. And this pressure is not only experienced in a specific country but in the whole world. Have you experience peer pressure?
It's natural to want to be accepted by others. Peer pressure plays on that desire.For example, if you have different belief and race, you know that there are things that are wrong according to your viewpoint or conviction. Many of your peers, though, urge you to join them in these activities. Have they thought about these matters and made their own decision? Not likely. By and large, they have yield to the influence of others. They want to be accepted, so they allow others to shape what they believe. Do you? Or do you have the courage to stand up for your convictions?
What about you?
Do you find it hard to stand up for what you know is right?
Would you like to be able to resist peer pressure without appearing tense and afraid?
......Yes, all of this aren't easy and you will feel scared to be rejected by your friends,because i also feel it too but i know you can,and we can!
The key is to see the pressure coming and decide in advance how to respond. There are some steps that will help us to do this.
Anticipate. Often, we can see trouble in advance. For example, you see a group of your schoolmates up ahead, and they’re doing some act that is against to our will. By anticipating the problem, we’ll be ready either to avoid it or to confront it.
Think. We might ask ourselves, ‘How will I feel in the long run if I go along with the crowd?’ True, we might gain the temporary approval of our peers. But how will we feel later, when we’re with our parents? Are we willing to sacrifice a clean standing just to please our classmates/peers?
Decide. Sooner or later, we have to choose either faithfulness and its blessings or unfaithfulness and its bitter consequences. Now it’s our turn to decide for what to do.
Act. This might is the hardest part. It’s not! If we already thought about the consequences and made up our mind, stating our position can be surprisingly easy—and rewarding. A simple but firm no may suffice.
Few of our classmates and friends will have any contact with us a year after we leave the school school and to be away with our friends. Many may not even remember our name. But always remember our family,true friends,and God—will always be interested in our welfare.
If we yield to pressure from our peers, we become their puppet. Some friends are true and will always be there but some friends aren't and will put us in danger.
