Lesson Overview

17.32 – How to Handle Peer Pressure on Campus: Peer pressure thrives where uncertainty lives. The more you understand your values, the less control others have over you. Pause before agreeing to anything that makes you uneasy—silence is your temporary shield. Practice polite refusal lines like “I’m good, thanks” or “That’s not really me.” Keep your goals in mind—sports, grades, future plans—and ask if the decision supports or threatens them. True friends respect boundaries; if they don’t, they were never allies. Build confidence by surrounding yourself with peers who share healthy habits. Peer pressure loses influence when you replace approval-seeking with purpose. Every “no” strengthens your identity and proves self-control is more powerful than temporary popularity. Courage grows each time you protect your integrity in the moment.
