There is no way to stop peer
pressure, but there are ways to prevent it.This includes: saying no
like you mean it. If the person pressuring you has been persistent, tell
them ‘no.’ and refuse to go further on the matter. If they continue, be
repetitive and back up ‘no.’ with a biting positive statement such as
“I like knowing I have a long way before my death, I don’t want to push
myself further down the line”. If you are unable to resist around the
pressures, leave. It is not healthy to be around that kind of bad
energy.
Other
ways to prevent peer pressure include getting a friend whom shares your
values and will be able to back you up, confront them about the
situation, consider it and think about the possible consequences of your
actions, seek support, speak out and evaluate your friendships. These
things are infinitely important in order to avoid and/or prevent peer
pressure.
