Guidance In November and December 2009

During November and December 2009, 3rd - 5th graders will be learning about Peer Pressure and Refusal Skills. The students are learning about peer pressure tricks:

1. Not Belonging -  A peer takes away friendship to pressure you
2. Minimizing - Making a big situation seems small to convince you it's okay
3. Name Calling - A peer insults you to influence you
4. Begging & Pleading - Saying "please" and "come on" to put pressure on you
5. Unspoken Peer Pressure - no one says anything to you; however you feel pressure to do something because the group is doing it.
