speech on peer pressure helps students to grow
Answers
Explanation:
The first point I want to make in this speech is that peer pressure is NOT a bad thing. We all are influenced by our peers, both negatively and positively. It helps define who we are and how we feel about subjects in our lives. It is how we chose to react to peer pressure that defines who we are as an individual. Are we a leader or a follower?

Life is about making decisions and each decision you make will lead you down a different path.
Learn to make good decisions:
Weigh the pros and cons. Understand the negative consequences that can result from a decision YOU make. (By giving in to negative peer pressure, you might get grounded, you could lose people you thought were your friends, you could be put in jail.) trust yourself to make the responsible choice. Be honest with yourself. Are the risks involved worth damaging your own self-respect?
It takes guts to stand up for yourelf. At some point in time, you've got to assume responsibility for yourself. Why not start now?
