Dealing With Alcohol

Come on! ALL of us are cutting math. Who wants to go take that quiz? We're going to take a walk and get lunch instead. Let's go!" says the coolest kid in your class. Do you do what you know is right and go to math class, quiz and all? Or do you give in and go with them?As you grow older, you'll be faced with some challenging decisions. Some don't have a clear right or wrong answer - like should you play soccer or field hockey? Other decisions involve serious moral questions, like whether to cut class, try cigarettes, or lie to your parents.
Peer pressure will hurt you in the end. I mean getting people to forse you into something it is just not good for your heart. I mean if you do something do ti for the righ treason if it 's a good thing. If you know it's bad and you take a chance to do that thing it's going to mess you up in the future. I want everyone to know I have friends that were put into these things above and it's messd tehm up some are going to rehab to fix there problems to become a better person and others are never goning to be the same. Take a chance to do soemthing different.
Don't be scared you might make a difference. People might call you dumb or stupid and say our a fraidy cat and a pussy. In your heart to walk off and thats what you do you go girl/boy cause I'm goign to do the same thing. Hang out with the people that you know are going to go somewhere in life or if they are smart. In the meantime you known you did the right hing. If you have anymore questions or things for me to answer or confused because I go through the same stuff I'll help you out cause I'm here for you.
Don't feel guilty if you've made a mistake or two. Talking to a parent, teacher, or school counselor can help you feel much better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure.Peer pressure is not always a bad thing. For example, positive peer pressure can be used to pressure bullies into acting better toward other kids. If enough kids get together, peers can pressure each other into doing what's right!

I was a bit confused by your blog because your title is about alcohol, but you don't really mention it specifically in your blog.

Also, reading your blog to yourself before posting it can be helpful to check for errors or understanding. :)

That being said, I think you bring up a few good points about peer pressure. Yes, it can be tough, but teens just need to hang in there and not give in.
