Good friends?

Target age group: 11-14 year-olds

Structure: 1 or 2 lessons

Preparation: Download worksheet 2.

Objectives

• To consider a range of situations that may arise for young people
• To consider what they could do and what they would do in these situations
• To consider their responsibilities towards their friends
• To consider how to resist peer pressure.

Notes
These situations could apply to boys or girls. They look at three situations from one person's point of view but, in groups, students could take on the roles of the different people and consider why they're doing what they're doing and what would be the best thing to do.

Students could each tackle one situation and then one person from each group explains to the rest of the class what their group decided were the answers.
