Lesson 3 Facing Pressure
Avoiding Dangerous Situations
• The easiest way for you to stay out of a bad
situation is to avoid it in the first place.
• You already know some situations that might lead
to trouble. Going to a friend’s house when his or
her parents aren’t around, cutting school, or staying
out past curfew are examples of bad situations.

Standing Your Ground
• Assertiveness is the self-confidence to defend your
thoughts, feelings, or beliefs in a way that is honest,
respectful, and not harmful to anyone.
• To be assertive against negative peer pressure,
stand your ground. Show your peers that you really
mean no.

Staying Focused on the Issue
• Remember Your Values When you give in to
pressure, you are letting someone else decide what
you should do. Remember your values. When you
give in to pressure, you risk losing those values.
