Peer pressure is the influence of a social group on an individual. Good peer pressure is being pushed into something that you didn't have the courage to do or just didn't cross your mind to do. Good peer pressure can also be a situation when your friends convince you not to do something you were going to do because it wasn't in your best interest. Good peer pressure is when you get pushed into something that you didn't want to do and it turned out well. You may learn something new and have a new experience. You can overcome a fear. You will avoid breaking the law, getting into trouble with your parents and hurting your health. Friendships, socializing, encouragement and good advice. Bad peer pressure is being talked into doing something that you didn't want to do because your friends said that you should. Bad peer pressure is usually the result of wanting to be accepted by your peers. Bad peer pressure usually leads to doing something bad such as drinking alcohol, using drugs, or smoking. It can lead to trouble with the law, with your parents and it can affect your health. The key to dealing with negative peer pressure is self-confidence. Be yourself, make your own decisions, regardless of what others think. Listen to your gut Learn to feel comfortable saying "no." Hang with people who feel the same way you do. If a situation seems dangerous, don't hesitate to get an adult's help. Protective Factors- Factors in an individual’s life that decrease the likelihood of involvement with drugs and reduce the impact that any risk factor might have. Protective Factors Family Factors Parental Supervision Child's Attachment to Parent Parent's Attachment to Child Parent's Involvement in Child's Activities Educational Factors Reading Percentile Mathematics Percentile Commitment to School Attachment to Teachers Aspirations to Go to College Expectations to Go to College Parent's Expectation for Child to Go to College Parent's Values About College Peer Factors Peers Have Conventional Values Parent's Positive Evaluation of Peers Other Resources Child's Self Esteem Child's Involvement in Religious Activities Child's Involvement in Prosocial Activities Child Is Close to an Adult Outside the Family Risk Factor- Factors in an individual’s life that increase the likelihood of involvement with drugs. Socioeconomic factors Psychosocial that reflect a tendency toward nonconformity within society Availability Depression Peer Approval Low educational goals School absence Number of adults that use drugs Deadly Persuasion Define- An experience of powerlessness over a compulsive behavior which results in that person’s life becoming unmanageable. All addictions have similar effects of the brain (shopping, alcohol, smoking, tobacco, caffeine ,drugs, alcohol, sex…) It involves the following: 1. Frequent self destructive behavior or highrisk activity. Ex- Stealing 2. Shame/denial/making excuses for being involved in the activity. 3. Unable to stop even though it’s causing severe life problems with family, friends, health ,employment, finances, the law. All individuals move from 1 stage to another at their own pace. Some never move past the 1st stage. Stage1 Person experiences joy/euphoria induced by substance/activity. This is the “hook.” (this is why we do drugs) Stage 2 The brain does not return to its normal state after using the substance. A “low” or pain is felt. The changes in the brain chemistry cause the individual to feel pain when the drug wears off. So they take more. This is especially dangerous for teen as their brain is still under construction. Continued use can led to brain damage. Quitting the behavior is relatively easy at this state especially if they are faced with unpleasant consequences. Ex- DUI, Parent Disapproval, kicked off team, job loss, pregnancy Stage 3 This is the “disease” stage. The addict is controlled by their substance of choice. Nothing matters more than satisfying their desperate need. The drug/activity become their primary focus and life is just a distraction that’s always trying to prevent them from doing what they constantly want to do. This stage also involves higher doses of drugs. ***Changes in the brain caused by addiction make it difficult for the addict to be hones about their condition. Lying becomes the rule of thumb because addiction changes the way the addict thinks. 1. Short-Term Gratification: First there is short-term gratification. You feel good now. There is a strong short-term gain that causes you to assume the drug or behavior is good for you. 2. Long-Term Pain & Dysfunction: The short term gratification is eventually followed by long-term pain. This pain, part of which is from physical withdrawal, and part of which is from the inability to cope psychosocially without drugs/alcohol, is the direct consequences of using the addictive chemicals. 3. Addictive Thinking: The long-term pain and dysfunction trigger addictive thinking. Addictive thinking begins with obsession and compulsion. Obsession is a continuous thinking positive effects of using alcohol and drugs. Compulsion is an irrational urge or craving to use the drug to get the positive effect even though you know it will hurt you in the long run. This leads to denial and rationalization in order to allow continued use. Denial is the inability to recognize there is a problem. Rationalization is blaming other situations and people for problem rather than drug use. 4. Increased Tolerance: Without your being aware that it is happening, more and more of the drug is required to produce the same effect. 5. Loss of Control- The obsession and compulsion become so strong that you cannot think about anything else. Your feelings and emotions become distorted by the compulsion. You become stressed and uncomfortable until finally the urge to use is so strong that you cannot resist it. Once you use the addictive chemicals or the addictive behaviors again, the cycle starts all over. 6. Bio-Psycho-Social Damage: Eventually there is damage to the health of your body (physical health), mind (psychological health), and relationships with other people (social health). As pain and stress get worse, the compulsion to use the addictive drugs or behaviors to get relief from the pain increases. A deadly trap develops. You need addictive use in order to feel good. When you use addictively you damage yourself physically, psychologically, and socially. This damage increases your paid which increases your need fro addictive use.
