Today, I ( Dipankar ) along with Stuti and Shiksha Di conducted our first PEER PRESSURE session in Tolleyganj Adarsha Hindi High School ( a boys school).
Though, today we were on field visit for approaching schools, a principal asked us to conduct session with Class 11th students on the spot itself.
Objective of today's session was to introduce the term peer pressure to teenagers, and help them realize the consequences of both negative and positive peer pressure and ways to overcome them.
Firstly, we gave a brief introduction of the term Peer Pressure. Then we discussed with them few situations from which they were able to understand the difference between negative and positive peer pressure.
Then, we discussed few aspects where we give in to negative peer pressure. After that, we told them the ways to overcome negative peer pressure.
Later, students shared with us their various experiences when they did something that they didn't want to, under the influence of peer pressure. After that, I and Dipankar also shared our experiences of doing something under influence of negative and positive peer pressure respectively.
By the end of the session, I got to learn the few points where I need to work on during my session, and those experiences shared by students helped me acknowledge the common situations where teenagers undergo peer pressure.
