Hey there and welcome to Standing Strong, an interesting course designed just for you to understand peer pressure. Life as a teen is full of fun, friendships, and new experiences. However, at times, it can also feel like a lot to handle, especially when it comes to peer pressure. So, don’t worry if you’re not sure what that means yet, because we’ll explore it together. In fact, this course is here to break it all down and give you the tools to feel confident, make smart choices, and stay true to yourself.

In this six-module course, you’ll discover:

• First, what peer pressure is and how it shows up in places like school, friendships, and even online.
• Next, the difference between positive peer pressure (like friends encouraging you to try something great) and negative peer pressure (like being pushed to do something that doesn’t feel right).
• Then, how to say “NO” with confidence and still feel good about it.
• After that, who you can turn to for help—like parents, teachers, or friends—when things get tricky.
• Finally, you’ll practise real-life situations, and as a result, you’ll be ready to handle peer pressure like a pro.

Each module includes fun videos with a friendly animated host, activities to help you think through what you’ve learned, and quick quizzes to check your understanding. By the end of this course, you’ll feel like a Standing Strong Expert, ready to make choices that are right for YOU and build friendships that make you feel great.

So, grab a comfy seat, get ready to learn, and let’s start this journey together! We’re here to help you every step of the way. Let’s dive into Module 1 and find out what peer pressure is all about!
