We continue to develop Pillar  3 of our well being program. Today it was the turn of the Grade 9s on the topic of “Peer Pressure”.

We defined what “peer pressure” is and why we sometimes are influenced by what our social group says and thinks. Sometimes even against what we really want to do.

Finally we put the boys in real life situations where we often find ourselves between the dilemma of what we should do and what kind of comments or opinions we can listen to from our social group in such a situation. We asked them to act by pressuring their friend into doing something they didn’t want to, and also to encourage them to do what is right.
