B
①People around your age are your peers (同龄人). Your friends and classmates can all be your peers. They have a great effect on your thoughts and behavior. Peer pressure is the influence that people of the same age have on one another.
②Sometimes your peers have a positive effect on you. For example, a friend may notice (注意到) that you have trouble in your studies. And he might help you out. We call it positive peer pressure.
③Sometimes your peers influence you in a negative way. A friend may ask you to smoke with him. He knows that smoking is bad for your health. But he still makes you smoke. This bad influence is a kind of negative peer pressure. You need to make a smart decision.
④Therefore (因此), you should learn to deal with negative peer pressure. Stay away from people who always bring you negative peer pressure. Though it is always difficult to say no, it’s really necessary to learn how to do that. Take the following steps. First, look at the person and say no in a strong but polite voice. Then, give your reasons for saying no. Let the person know why you won’t do what he wants. Last, don’t forget to say goodbye and leave if he keeps asking.
