Question 1: Explain what peer pressure is and give an example of a situation where someone might experience it.

Answer: Peer pressure is when friends or classmates encourage or influence someone to do something, often to fit in or be accepted. For example, a student might feel pressured to try smoking because their friends are doing it.

Question 2: List three ways you can resist negative peer pressure.

Answer: Saying no firmly, suggesting an alternative activity, and trusting your own judgment.

Question 3: Describe a scenario where peer pressure could lead to unsafe behaviour and explain how you would handle it.

Answer: A group encourages a friend to skip school, which is unsafe. To handle it, the friend could refuse and explain they are not comfortable, or seek help from a trusted adult.

Question 4: Why is it important to trust your own instincts when faced with peer pressure?

Answer: Trusting your instincts helps you make safe choices that align with your values and prevents you from engaging in harmful activities.

Question 5: Identify three signs that indicate you might be experiencing peer pressure.

Answer: Feeling anxious or uncomfortable, agreeing to something you don’t want to do, and feeling pressured to conform to others’ expectations.

Question 6: Draw a diagram or sketch showing a person standing confidently while peers are encouraging them to do something they are uncomfortable with. Label the person and the peers.

Answer: A sketch of a person standing upright with a confident posture, facing a group of peers who are gesturing or speaking towards them. Labels should identify the individual as 'confident person' and the others as 'peer group'.

Question 7: Write a short paragraph explaining why it is okay to say 'no' to peer pressure, even if others are pressuring you.

Answer: It is okay to say 'no' because your safety, values, and feelings matter. You have the right to make your own choices and avoid situations that could harm you.

Question 8: Suggest two strategies you could use if you find yourself in a peer pressure situation that makes you feel unsafe.

Answer: Politely decline and walk away, or seek help from a trusted adult or friend.

Question 9: Reflect on a time when you felt peer pressure. How did you respond, and what did you learn from the experience?

Answer: Students should describe their personal experience, their response (e.g., saying no, avoiding the situation), and what they learned, such as the importance of trusting their feelings or seeking support.
