What is peer pressure (压力)? People who are the same age as you, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence (影响) you to act, or to make you do something, it’s called peer pressure. Everyone has to deal with (处理) it, even the older people.

The influence of peer pressure

Peers can have a good influence on each other when they are encouraged to do something positive or pushed to grow in a beneficial way. You might admire (羡慕) a friend who is always good at sports and try to be more like him or her. Maybe you want to make others excited about your new favorite book, and now everyone’s reading it.

On the other hand, sometimes peers influence (影响) each other in bad ways. Negative peer pressure involves (包含) pressure to do something dangerous or damaging to themselves or others. For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them when you should study at school or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift (在商店行窃) with him.

Why do people give in (屈服) to peer pressure?

Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, or because they worry that other kids may laugh at them if they don’t go along with the group. Others may go along because they want to try something new. The idea that “everyone has to do it ” may influence some kids to leave their common sense (常识) behind.

How to walk away from peer pressure

Choose your friends wisely. If you choose friends who don’t smoke cigarettes, or lie (说谎), then maybe you won’t do these things either.

Even if you have peer pressure while you’re alone, there are still things you can do. You can be away from peers who pressure you to do something wrong. You can say “no” to them and walk away.

At last, if you go on to have peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to deal with, talk to someone you depend on.

The Chinese shadow puppet play is an old art. It is usually played by five people. One moves the puppets, one sings and the other three people play music.

It’s said that it appeared in China over 2,000 years ago during the Han Dynasty (朝代). After the wife of the Emperor (皇帝) Han Wudi died of illness, the emperor was very sad. One day, a man called Li Shaoweng saw children playing with dolls and the shadows of the dolls were dancing on the wall. So he came up with an idea to help Han Wudi. He went back home and made a puppet of the emperor’s wife. He put sticks on the puppet’s hands and feet to make it easy to move.

When night came, he put up a cloth, lit (点燃) a candle (蜡烛) and invited the emperor to sit before the cloth. Li Shaoweng moved the puppet behind the cloth. The emperor felt like he was seeing his wife again and was very happy. After that the shadow puppet play became the emperor’s favorite hobby. Thousands of years have passed, but the shadow puppet play is still popular. And it is loved by more and more people all over the world.
