Anti-Smoking... Resisting the Temptation

If you’re ever caught in a sticky situation, saying no is one of the hardest things to do. Whether it’s smoking, drinking, or any other temptation, peer pressure is most likely involved. One of the biggest problems high school has always faced and still faces today is smoking. Although you might get caught in a tough circumstance, there is always a way to get out! Here are some useful tips:

• Don’t hang out with the wrong crowd! I know, it’s easier said than done… but surrounding yourself with people who have the same morals as you is a lot more enjoyable! It’s extremely easy to fall into temptations when you’re surrounded by anything and everything you’re trying to avoid.


• Think of the risks. Smoking brings so many risks and consequences to the table. Both with health and beauty! Did you know smoking actually increases your chance of cancer by 13 times?  It also reduces your life 11 minutes every time you smoke one cigarette!  It’s too big of a risk especially at such a young age!


• Encourage others to quit! If you grow up in a family with a history of smokers, getting them to quit is a good way to push the temptation away for good. It’s hard not to try it when you’re surrounded by it 24/7. It not only pays off for you, but for your parents/siblings, too!

Whether you’ve faced this problem or have yet to go through it, I hope these tips give you some confidence in turning the other way.

I wish you all the best of luck! – Chelsea

Say "No" To Peer Pressure

Say "No" To Peer Pressure

            Hey insiders!

            Peer pressure gets to all of us.  Whether you’re in middle school, high school, or even in your adult years, we’re all tempted in different ways and forms.  It’s not fun or easy, but there are many ways to resist it.

• Stand your ground.  All of us have a set of rules and values for ourselves that we try to follow as much as possible.  If anyone tries to change those values, stand your ground.  Learn how to say no and follow your gut on what’s right.
• Choose your friends wisely.  It’s easier to avoid peer pressure when you’re surrounded by good people that share the same values as you.  This way you won’t have to worry about them tempting you into doing something you’re not comfortable with.
• Be confident.  Go into the situation with a mindset of “no one will change who I am or what I believe.”  Once you have a secure mindset, you’ll be a lot stronger and more confident in walking away. 
• Think of the consequences.  Is the situation really worth the consequences?  Think very carefully about what you do before you do it.  Bad decisions can weigh on you and carry a big amount of guilt. 

             Although there are more ways to resist peer pressure, I find these four the most effective.  Remember, “To be popular isn’t always right and to be right isn’t always popular.”
