 * What are people thinking about peer pressure? **

==Conclusion: Many people think that peer pressure is bad and it is everywhere, but don't forget that there is also good peer pressure. Everyone generates peer pressure, consciously most don't want to. Parents think that if they don't buy the things others have their son won't have friends or he would be excluded. In one point of life everyone has to deal with the conflict, it is inavitable. == = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

There is always a second option, but you have to think in both, not just choosing one without a reason. Both options lead to different paths, some are good and some are bad.

Find out what they like and spend some quality time. I think you'll be surprised at how much they open up to you when your alone doing something they like.==
 * == Build victim's self-esteem . If your child has good self-confidence they can get through a lot that life has to throw at them. They're not as afraid to say no and walk away. We need to help build that for them .==
 * == Communicate with the victim. Let them know you care and you want to hear everything they have to say. Find out what's going on in their life without sounding like you're "drilling them" with questions. Stop talking and listen. What they have to say is important. Remember when we were children? I look back sometimes and wonder why I stressed so bad about little things, but back then it wasn't just little. It was how I felt and it was important to me .==
 * == Talk with the school. Sometimes it doesn't always help to talk to the schools. They can't control everything that goes on. But it's just as important to let them know. The school counselor is probably the best person to talk to. They can get to know your child one on one and spend more time with them, getting to know what's going on in their life and who's bothering them.==
 * = Bond with the victim. Bond with them by making it a point to spend some one on one time with them. I know we get overwhelmed with work, tasks, and siblings, but it's important to put your children on the top of that priority list. Make dates with them individually. Children tend to open up more when they don't have others tagging along. Depending on the age of your child, their are several things you can do with them.=

Prior Knowledge:
==To help people getting through peer pressure, it is good to talk with the victims and making things they enjoy for making them realize that there is still one hope to end their conflict. Make them forget about their problems for a few moments, that might help them a lot, but it is better to keep in touch with them. In that way maybe the problem could be solved.==

Obse/expirence: when i have a problem in school and i go to the sicologist i dint feel so conftable because if is a familiar problem she or hi can give me advices or tips that mabye i dont like... but if is a friendship problem i will like to because i feel good because she can give me ways to solve it.

prior knowledge: Is a good idea to talk with the people how are passing througth peer pressure, also with the phicologist, or in school ect... also you can talk with he/she and talk about anything, and elevate her mind a wile. sometimes it doesn't always help to talk to the schools. They can't control everything that goes on. But it's just as important to let them know.

Prior knowledge: Tenns must think about the risk drugs can affect in their life, health etc... but they dont have in mind the consecuences..and they dont care abot what happens, because all they want is to be part of a group. media: internet: []

When making a decision, teens think about both the risks and rewards of their actions and behaviors—but, unlike adults, teens are more likely to ignore the risk in favor of the reward.

OBSE/EXPIRENCE:

Gabriela de Lemos 12/5/12

It has long been known that adolescents with warm and involved parents are less likely to use alcohol, cigarettes, or marijuana. Now a study published in the July/August 2005 issue of the journal Child Development finds such involved parenting actually affects teenagers' thought processes when it comes to such substances, giving teens a negative view of people who drink or smoke cigarettes or marijuana, and insuring the teens won't use such substances even when they're easily available. Researchers from the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth, Iowa State University, and the University of Georgia followed 714 African-American adolescents and their parents for five years. The investigators began by asking the adolescents questions about their mothers' parenting behaviors and, two years later, questions regarding their thoughts concerning typical substance users. The teens were also asked how open they were to trying alcohol, cigarettes, or marijuana if the opportunity arose. In the fifth year, the researchers asked the adolescents to report how often they had used any of these substances. Effecting Key Thought Processes The findings suggest that parents affect their children's behaviors by influencing two key thought processes: their images of the typical "smoker" or "drinker," which the adolescent associates with the behavior, and their willingness to smoke, drink, or use other drugs if they find themselves in circumstances in which such substances are available. The researchers also found that the positive effects of strong parenting were greatest in families living in high-risk neighborhoods where, for instance, gang fights and drug-selling were more likely to occur. Talk to Kids About Using Drugs "Overall, we found our results encouraging because the parenting behaviors consisted of things that most parents can do -- provide warmth and support for their children, monitor their behaviors and friends, and talk to them about using drugs," said lead author Michael J. Cleveland, PhD, Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth. "Parents should know that they can influence how their children think about substance use and users, which may eventually reduce the chance their child will use alcohol, cigarettes, or marijuana."
