Gangs and Peer Pressure

Today’s episode will focus on Gangs and Peer Pressure

Can you guess why I chose this topic? It is important for young people to understand the differences between healthy and unhealthy friendships that can cause someone to act in a dangerous or harmful way due to peer pressure. We will take the time to explore why some people join a gang so that we can remove the myths associated with being in a gang. When we understand the consequences of gang membership, we are more likely to be able to resist joining a gang.

After this episode, you will be able to:

1) Define the term peer pressure

2) Describe some of the signs of gang membership

3) Consider why some young people may want to join a gang but most others do not

4) Explain some of the consequences of gang membership
