Worksheet 3.3:

(Extended Activities)

Applying peer pressure

You don’t want to go to Geography class as you know there will be a test. It is the last

lesson of the day and the classroom is right next to the school gate. No one would notice if

you just slipped out. You ask a friend to cover for you, it will be fine. You want to go to the

park as it is a nice day but you don’t want to go alone. You ask your friend to come with

you, but he/she is usually a goody-two-shoes. You need to think of everything you possibly

can to convince him/her to come with you.

• You are not allowed to curse

• You are not allowed to physically drag him/her

Resisting peer pressure

You have actually studied for this Geography test as you did so poorly on the last one.

You really don’t want to skip the Geography class. The teachers is strict and your parents

would be so angry if they found out that you skipped a lesson. They keep saying that

________ is a bad influence on you. Although it is a nice day, you need to refuse A’s

attempts to persuade you.

• You are not allowed to say the word ‘no’

• You need to try to convince your friend to do the right thing and not

bunk class

You are the bystander

You are standing beside A and B listening to their conversation but you are not allowed to

say anything. You are simply watching the discussion.

• When your teacher says you are allowed to speak, you need to pick a side

between A and B, and argue with them
