 Task 1: Work in pairs. Discuss the question

I have a lot of comics and my friends often borrow them from

me. I'm fine with that. However, there is one friend that
whenever she returns them, my comics are terrible! They were
torn, dirty and there were even some drawings on one of
them! To be honest, I don't like lending her my books, but I
don't want her to tell anything bad about me to
other friends. That's the reason why
I still keep lending her my comics.

DON'T WANT TO BE THE ODD ONE OUT!

'My parents don't want me to hang out with my friends from school. They think
those friends have a bad influence on me. They aren't happy that instead of going
home after school, we go to games centres to play video games. But I think it's fun,
and I don't want to lose my friends.' Thanh, 17…
[A] The emails we have received from teenagers this week point to the effects of
peer pressure, which is when you do things because you want to be accepted or
valued by your friends. If teens fail to do what their group of friends want them to do,
they may not be accepted or may even be bullied.
[B] In many cases, peer pressure can lead to depression, low self-
confidence, distance from family and poor school performance. It can also lead to
bigger social issues. It was reported that 70% of teenage smokers surveyed in the US
started smoking because they had friends who were smoking.
[C] It is not always easy to stand up to peer pressure, but sooner or later you need to
decide what is best for you...
