Question 1: Why is it important to learn refusal skills?
To answer this question, it is important to understand how peer pressure works. Peer pressure is the influence that people your age may have on you to try or do something you may not want to do. Learning refusal skills is important because it helps you resist peer pressure and make decisions that align with your beliefs and values.
Refusal skills are techniques and strategies that can help you say "no" effectively when faced with pressure to engage in risky behaviors like drinking alcohol. By learning refusal skills, you can feel accepted by others around you without compromising your own principles. It allows you to avoid situations in which alcohol is present and remain alcohol-free, which is important for your own well-being and health.
So, the correct response to this question would be: "To avoid situations in which alcohol is present and remain alcohol-free."
To learn refusal skills, you can practice assertiveness, which involves clearly communicating your decision and standing your ground. It is also helpful to have a support system of friends who can help you stick to your decision and provide encouragement when faced with peer pressure.
Question 2: Which question is not a helpful one to ask yourself when preparing for peer pressure?
When preparing for peer pressure, it is important to ask yourself helpful questions that can guide your decision-making process. The question that is not helpful in this context is: "How can I come across as friendly to everyone?"
While being friendly is important in social situations, it is not directly related to preparing for peer pressure. The more relevant questions to ask yourself include: "Are there any friends who can help me stick to my decision?" and "In what situations will I most likely encounter pressure to drink?" These questions can help you identify potential challenges and develop strategies to stay true to your values.
Question 3: Which statement is true about peer pressure?
To determine the true statement about peer pressure, we need to evaluate each response.
The correct statement about peer pressure is: "You never need to apologize for not drinking."
This statement is true because it emphasizes that your choices and decisions are valid, and you should not feel obligated to conform to others' expectations or apologize for your personal choices.
The other statements are false. As an adult, you can still experience peer pressure, and it is not necessarily a sign of care if a friend keeps pressuring you to drink alcohol. Additionally, many people who drink may not necessarily want to be the only ones drinking.
Question 4: When is it okay to get a ride home from an adult who has been drinking?
The correct response to this question is: "You should never accept a ride from anyone who has been drinking."
It is never safe to get a ride from someone who has been drinking, as their ability to drive may be impaired, increasing the risk of accidents. It is important to prioritize your safety and find alternative transportation options, such as calling a sober friend or family member, using public transportation, or coordinating a designated driver.
Question 5: What behavior might indicate you are willing to go drink with your friends?
To determine the behavior that indicates a willingness to go drink with friends, let's evaluate each response.
The correct behavior that indicates a willingness to go drink with friends is: "You tell them you don’t want to drink but decide to go to the party where everyone is drinking anyway."
In this scenario, although you initially communicate your decision not to drink, your decision to attend the party where everyone is drinking suggests that you are willing to compromise your own beliefs or put yourself in a risky situation.
The other options, such as seeking support from a cousin or pretending to get in trouble with your parents to avoid going, demonstrate attempts to resist peer pressure and make decisions that align with your values and priorities.
