Peer pressure(同伴压力) happens to everybody. However, people have different opinions. Confident people refuse to do things they don’t want to do, but shy and anxious people often give in. 1. It may be because they want to be liked. It may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them.

It’s hard being the only one who says no and the question is: how do you do it? 2.

If you think that missing maths, or smoking, or drinking wine is a bad idea then the answer is simple: don’t do it. It’s your decision, nobody else’s. You don’t need to shout and scream, but you must be confident and firm. You need to say, “No, thanks. I don’t want to do that.” Being on your own against everybody else is very hard, but it can really help to have at least one other peer, or friend, who will say no too.

3. You want friends who will support you when y4.You can learn a lot from people your own age. They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework. They can recommend music and advise you on fashion. And don’t forget you can tell them things too, and that always feels great. So, find friends who have similar interests. And remember, friendship isn’t about feeling unhappy and guilty. 5.

A. Choose your friends carefully.

B. Firstly, you must decide what you believe in.

C. It’s about sharing experiences and having fun.

D. Of course, peer pressure isn’t completely bad.

E. It may be because they were all born to be stubborn.

F. Depression and guilt will surely give you peer pressure.

G. Whatever the reason, some people end up doing things they really don’t want to.

Kindness is not always a straight line. I was traveling in a city of Central America with a friend, and we were looking for a post office. we were standing on a street corner and did not know what the Spanish word for “post office” was. One kind man could see we were in difficulty and came up to us. We tried to explain what we were looking for, and he said, “Oh, yes, yes.” He led us down all these little streets. It seemed like we walked for miles. Finally, he pointed us to a building without any name on it. But when we went in, we found it was not a post office.

When we walked out and were again standing around looking lost, a woman soon came up and asked if we needed help. Again we tried to explained where we were going. The woman said she could help us. Then we followed her to another building which also had no name and we found it was not a post office, either. At this point we decided not to listen to anybody else.

But then another person came up and said, “I can help you.” We said, “No, thank you.”But he didn't listen to us. He actually caught me by the hand and pulled me through the streets. Circling around, we came back to the first corner we had been standing on when we began. He pointed across the street, and there was the post office.
