Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people
get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be
even harder. When your peers (friends, classmates, or people you
hang out with) try to influence how you act, to get you to do something,
it's called peer pressure. It's something everyone has to deal with.
These sessions will give you some tools to help you deal with peer
pressure.
