Make Peer Pressure Positive

The goal: Raise a teen to become an adult who can work well with others and have meaningful relationships. The way to get there: Positive peer pressure. When your teen and their friends decide to avoid risky behaviors together, they’re joining forces to keep each other on the right path. That positive peer pressure means that they teach each other not to repeat mistakes. You can’t choose your teen’s friends, but you can give them opportunities to surround themselves with awesome people who share their interests. Let peer pressure work in your favor.
