Peer pressure is real and all too common! Teens constantly experience all kinds of peer pressure (positive and negative) both in and out of school. Peer pressure can ultimately affect teens' decision-making, behaviors, emotions, and self-esteem. It's often hard to navigate difficult situations when dealing with negative peer pressure and hard to take risks when experiencing positive peer pressure.

PASSAGE TITLE: “Controlling Behaviors”

This resource includes ONE full-page reading passage related to Controlling Behaviors. The passage is in dialogue form to make it more interesting and relatable to students. To determine whether this passage is suitable for your students, this is what the passage is about:

A teenage girl innocently befriends a new male student at her high school. Her boyfriend/partner is jealous of her new male friend and demands that she not interact with him or other boys – even if they are “just friends.” In the end, she must decide whether she will honor her boyfriend/partner’s wishes and isolate herself from male friends or set boundaries or eave him due to his controlling behaviors. (Negative Peer Pressure)

After students read the passage, they will complete a worksheet that consists of four open-ended questions and support their responses with evidence from the text.

A detailed Answer Key is included to help you review the answers and engage your students in meaningful discussions.
