Freedom, Independence, and Peer Pressure

Entering your first year of high school provides you with many challenges. The new environment can be difficult to handle for some people while others look forward to the advantages. The transition from being an adolescent into your teen years can take its toll.

Even though your junior high years have come to an end, there are many high school experiences waiting in your future. Things like freedom and independence come into play. There are no longer teachers following you around the hallways and parents coming to parties with you. Adults look upon you more as responsible teenagers instead of little kids and your duties become more demanding. Along with freedom and independence comes trust and reliability.

This is where your peers comes into play. Your friends start to mature and change. Some of your closest friends may break away once you hit high school. You join new crowds and go your own way. Making responsible decisions and not giving into peer pressure will help you be successful in your four years at high school.
