Hey, you know, if you really wanna be our friend, you'd have one of these cigarettes, one of these smokes.
Yeah. Just a quick puff. It won't hurt.
Parents Explain Peer Pressure
Do you know what peer pressure is?
I have no idea.
This is a very, very important topic, you guys.
Have you ever felt like your friend are asking you to do something you kind of feels uncomfortable or maybe you know you really shouldn't do it?
Because you wanna be cool to your friends, right?
And so there's a...like expectation or pressure to do certain things.
So...let's say, I'm one of your friends.
Are these real?
Yeah, they look like they're real.
Okay, so, here's Sally and Steve. Steve and Sally.
好，那這是 Sally 跟 Steve。Steve 跟 Sally。
And these girls think Steve is very cool.
然後這些女生覺得 Steve 很酷。
And big muscles.
And big muscles.
Hey, Kate, you wanna come smoke with us and be cool like us?
What? Are you too scared?
Don't be a weenie, just come have one.
Try this beer. It's really good. Oh, you're super cute! Don't you wanna drink?
I'll think you're super cool if you smoke a cigarette with me.
See? You just fell to peer pressure. Peer pressure talked you into it.
Did you ever get peer pressure?
Yes. By my friend named Scott. He was drinking alcohol in high school, and I thought he was the coolest thing ever. And he asked me to drink alcohol.
Hey, Ryan. Look what I got. I got some cigarettes, and I got some beers!
Come on, Mary Jane!
He's like, "Just take this little bit, take this little bit." I knew I shouldn't.
Ciela, oh, my best friend! I'm so happy that you're here!
Come on! Let's smoke!
I'm just partying, and I'm having a good time! I really feel like smoking a cigarette is so cool to do!
I'm gonna have some beer!
And then I tried it, and it was so horrible I actually did spit it out. And then he didn't like me anymore, because I spit out his alcohol that he took. And he is in prison now.
Teens might want you to try marijuana, molly, or speed. There's a lot of different drugs out there.
Do you do drugs?
Yeah, a bit. What do you think?
Well, actually I have done drugs before.
If you were to try those things, I would want you to be able to tell me and know that I still love you.
We were on our way home from school, and a friend of mine had some marijuana, some buds.
It's really hard in most situations to say, "No, thanks."
Why do you think marijuana would be okay?
I think my brother did it before, and so I heard about it—
I don't care if Danny did it before.
我不在乎 Danny 有沒有吸過。
Good friends will support you. If they wanna push you and force you into doing something you don't wanna do or is a bad choice—
They're not good friends.
And there might be some other friends who actually don't wanna be doing those things, but they feel peer-pressured and feel like they need to do it.
And if I do that, then they might go with me.
I bet your mom was very disappointed in you.
I didn't tell my mom. I didn't tell all my—
You've never told her it?
So, you want me to call Oma and tell her that I smoked some marijuana?
Well, we'll see.
