A guide to resisting peer pressure

Source

We are human ,so we will always possess the attribute of humans,part of which is peer pressure , I want to tell you that it is normal part of human life. We would surely want to belong,we want the society,we try to get accepted by our sets and which is just normal . Friends, classmates even colleague can influence us starting from childhood whether they are child or namesake ,they are shoverring with him and friendss. Mind you this push might be not be a positive one. So, we humans later find a way to fight against negative way of peer pressure so that our lives can be so useful.

One of the man the ways is to build self confidence, the moment you are still one who is afraid to lose people if you don't give in to them,the moment you choose to do whatever is expected of you from them so they can accept that you are not weak, you are in a big mess and all you have to do is build confidence, tell them this is your choice and judgment without feeling ashamed or guilty. Let them know you are you and you don't need to change who you are just because they asked for it.

Knowing who you are is also a way to fight against pree pressure. If you don't know who you are , your beliefs, your goals ,the. You don't get to make a choice, one can only choose what's best for them when they know where they are heading, what they need, that way you can't be easily swayed by others decision,you get to know the how to choice your type of friends, because an adage says birds of a feather flocks together. you understand yours and you stand to make sure you go along with it .

Another one is thinking about consequences before an actions, my elder sister is the one that used to constantly tell me this and it has really helped me till today, I don't do things before I start thinking, everything you see me do, I have thought about it thoroughly, checked about the consequences ,if it's something I can bare or something I can't afford to experience, I look at the future side effects because not all actions shows it's side effects at that moment ,some are future breaker, they tends to show up in future and scatter a foundation you've build for years.

The last I will be giving is ,don't compare yourself to others, their flashy lives might not always be real especially lives on social media, you don't spend like them when you don't earn like them, delete them off your fyp, and fill your fyp history with educative and informative videos.

Despite peer pressure being normal as humans, our life should not be affected because of it, we should learn to fight against it for a life full of value and dignity.
