1: Try ignoring the suggestion. If a friend offers you a drug or tells you to do something stupid like jump off a bridge, pretend you didnt hear it, or just say no and ignore it if they keep asking.

2: Leave the situation: If the group or friend you are hanging with is making bad choices and you feel it growing on you, leave the hangout. You can make an excuse like your parent is picking you up early or you feel sick.

Get advice from an adult: Everyone needs wise words from someone older and mature. Never be scared to reach out to a trusted adult like a school counsular, teacher, parent, and older sibling and ask how to handle peer pressure.

Say no and suggest something else: always trust your gut and if you feel like what you're doing is not right SAY NO!! suggest another activity or change the topic for example if someone offers you a drug say no and ask them about something that will distract them or make a joke
