Healthy Relationships and Peer Pressure

Use the scenarios to spot healthy relationship behaviours, recognise pressure and choose safe, respectful responses. You do not need to share personal experiences.

The relationship check

Healthy relationships can be friendships, family relationships or romantic relationships. They involve respect, trust, communication, boundaries and the freedom to make choices.

1.Choose all the behaviours that help make a relationship healthy.
  • Listening when someone says they do not want to talk
  • Sharing passwords to prove you trust each other
  • Being honest, while respecting someone's privacy
  • Accepting that friends can spend time with other people
  • Getting angry when someone says no
2.Florence's friend keeps demanding to read her messages and says, “If you have nothing to hide, you’ll show me.” Name one unhealthy behaviour in this situation and explain why it is a problem.
3.True or false: Consent means freely agreeing to something; someone can change their mind, and a pressured or frightened “yes” is not freely given.
TrueFalse

Pressure in the moment

Peer pressure can be direct, such as being told to do something, or indirect, such as worrying that a group will exclude you. It can encourage helpful choices or push someone towards choices they do not want to make.

4.At lunch, Ellis's friends keep telling him to skip an afternoon lesson. He has said no, but they reply, “Don’t be boring—we’ll all go.” Is this positive or negative peer pressure? Give one clue from the scenario.
5.Which response is the clearest way to refuse pressure to share an embarrassing photo of someone?
  • “I’m not sharing it. Delete it, and let’s change the subject.”
  • “I’ll share it if everyone else does first.”
  • Say nothing and forward it privately instead.
  • Tell the person in the photo that it is their fault.
6.Match each situation to the most suitable response.
  • A friend keeps asking after you have said no.
  • You are unsure what to do and feel unsafe.
  • Friends invite you to try a new club, but you are nervous.
  • Move somewhere safer and contact a trusted adult.
  • Repeat your boundary and leave if the pressure continues.
  • Take time to decide; encouragement does not mean you must agree.
7.Write a two-part response for someone being pressured to do something they do not want to do: first, a firm sentence they could say; second, one practical action they could take.

Support and next steps

If a situation feels worrying, confusing or unsafe, it is okay to ask for help. A trusted adult might be a parent or carer, relative, teacher, pastoral staff member, youth worker or another responsible adult.

8.A group chat is sending cruel messages about a pupil and urging everyone to add comments. Give two safe actions a bystander could take without making the situation worse.
9.Give two qualities you would look for in a trusted adult to talk to about relationship worries or peer pressure.
10.A classmate says, “My partner gets to decide who I talk to because they care about me.” Explain why this could be a warning sign and name one supportive thing you could say.
