Guided Notes

Key concepts students will learn:

  • When people around your age try to get you to act a certain way or do something, it's called peer pressure.

  • Your moral compass is your personal set of beliefs and values that lets you know what is right and what is wrong.

  • If peers pressure you to do things that could hurt you, someone else, or get you in trouble, it's okay to walk away and find friends that share the same values as you do.
