Human being is a creature of interaction and relationship. To live in an isolated world is not in the nature of anybody, infact life become more easily when we share it with the right people. Also take note that in one way or the other either directly or indirectly you are influencing someone and someone is influencing you therefore it is necessary to check and understand what is influencing us and who are we influencing.
Pressure in itself is ok, depending on where and how we channel it, which can either yeild a positive or negative results.
Before I continue also I need to establish this fact that in life you will always have people that are above you and people that are below you likewise you have people that are in the same group as you are; this kind of people in your group are called your peers
Now when we talk about peer pressure we are talking about the influence that the people in your group are having on you and the one you are having on them.
In this my write up I will focus on the negative influence coming from your peers and how you can handle it. When it come to handling negative peer pressure I believe that the following points we help you.
First define the kind of people you will allow in your zone; if you do not want to be living an adultery or fornication life then you need to distance yourself from friends and groups that are living such life; Define your association. Move with group that have the same belief and value system like your own.
Secondly, create a periodic time for self evaluation. Youp sincerely and truthfully need to check yourself and see where you are lacking behind and who is influencing your life. This will help you to analyze the kind of influence that are controlling your life.
Lastly for now, seek advice from mentors and senior people that you are looking up to; this will really give you wisdom to handle the pressure coming from your peers and this will really increasing you positively and generally.
In conclusion you need to know where you are going and what you want for your life so as to help you define the kind of people you will welcome around you.
