WHO INFLUENCES YOU?
Your behaviors and decisions are often influenced by many people.
Peer pressure- is a feeling that you should do something because that is what your friends want.
These influences can be positive or negative.
![Page 21: C HAPTER 2: S KILLS FOR A H EALTHY L IFE 10 L IFE S KILLS FOR A H EALTHY L IFE](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649da65503460f94a91419/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
INFLUENCES
Positive influences- it is a good thing to have positive role models because they help you improve yourself.
Negative influences- being pressured to do something that you don’t want to do is not healthy. Negative pressure can be serious and life threatening.
![Page 22: C HAPTER 2: S KILLS FOR A H EALTHY L IFE 10 L IFE S KILLS FOR A H EALTHY L IFE](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649da65503460f94a91419/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
STATISTICS SHOW ON POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE INFLUENCES…

TYPES OF PRESSURE
Direct pressure- the pressure that results from someone who tries to convince you to do something you normally wouldn’t do.
Indirect pressure- the pressure that results from being swayed to do something because people you look up to are doing it.
![Page 25: C HAPTER 2: S KILLS FOR A H EALTHY L IFE 10 L IFE S KILLS FOR A H EALTHY L IFE](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649da65503460f94a91419/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
STATISTICS SHOW DIRECT AND INDIRECT PRESSURE… A variety of factors have been found to be associated
with adolescent smoking and drinking. Peer influence is one of the factors most commonly linked
to adolescent substance use. Peer influences to smoke or drink may be direct or indirect.
Direct peer pressure may occur in the form of encouragement, dares, or actual offers of the substances.
Indirect peer influences can occur when youth associate with peers who drink or smoke, increasing the availability of these substances, providing role models, establishing substance use as “normal to do”, and creating the perception that using these substances might increase social acceptance.

REFUSAL SKILLS
Refusal Skill- is a strategy to avoid doing something you don’t want to do.
Practicing refusal skills can help you get through a “real-life” situation.
Refusal skills will be useful your entire life, and you will probably make better decisions now that you make your own decisions freely and not pressured.
![Page 27: C HAPTER 2: S KILLS FOR A H EALTHY L IFE 10 L IFE S KILLS FOR A H EALTHY L IFE](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649da65503460f94a91419/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
STATISTICS SHOW REFUSAL SKILLS…
Most school-based approaches to substance use prevention include objectives that address peer influences.
For example, peer pressure resistance training is one of the main activities of the popular DARE substance abuse prevention program.
Relatedly, an objective of Project Smart, one of the few well-evaluated substance abuse prevention programs that has been shown to be effective, is to prevent the establishment of perceived social norms that smoking and drinking are prevalent and acceptable behaviors among youth.

Refusal skill Sample response
1. Blame someone else. “My dad would kill me if I didn’t help him.”
2. Give a reason. “No, my dad said he’d pay me $20 if I helped out.”
3. Ignore the request or the pressure.
Pretend that you don’t hear them asking you. Refuse to talk about it.
4. Leave the situation. “I’ve got to get going. I’m running late.”
5. Say, “no thanks.” “No, thanks. I’m not interested.”
6. Say no, and mean it. “NO, I don’t want to!”
7. Keep saying no. “How many times do I have to say no? Stop bugging me!”
![Page 29: C HAPTER 2: S KILLS FOR A H EALTHY L IFE 10 L IFE S KILLS FOR A H EALTHY L IFE](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649da65503460f94a91419/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Refusal skill Sample response
8. Make a joke out of it. “You probably couldn’t keep up with me on a bike ride anyway.”
9. Make an excuse. “No, I’m not feeling well.”
10. Suggest something else to do.
“Let’s go on a bike ride on Sunday instead.”
11. Change the subject. “I heard Nick and Mary are dating.”
12. Team up with someone. “Hey David, didn’t dad say we had to do the garage or we’d be grounded?”Ask people to help you in the refusal. Many voices are better than one!

SAYING NO WITH RESPECT
When practicing refusal skills, there are two basic points that are important to remember:
Always respect others: people feel pressured to do things because they don’t want to seem disrespectful.
Don’t put anyone down: you don’t have to insult someone when you are refusing to give in to their pressure.
![Page 31: C HAPTER 2: S KILLS FOR A H EALTHY L IFE 10 L IFE S KILLS FOR A H EALTHY L IFE](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649da65503460f94a91419/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
PERSISTENT PRESSURE
There will be situations where some people might not stop bothering you. If you have said “no” many times and they still insist, the best thing to do is to leave the situation or ask for help.
If the person bothering you is your friend, you have to ask yourself if this person is a good person for you to be around and if he/she respects you.
Practicing refusal skills will help you cope with difficult situations, and the more you practice, the more confident you will be.

STATISTICS SHOW THE RIGHT TO RESIST PRESSURE… According to The Cool Spot, resisting pressure can be hard for
some people Why? They…• are afraid of being rejected by others•
want to be liked and don’t want to lose a friend•
don’t want to be made fun of•
don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings•
aren’t sure of what they really want•
don’t know how to get out of the situation
Sometimes resisting isn’t easy, but you can do it with practice (hint, hint: Refusal Skills). Keep trying, even if you don’t get it right at first.
