When a good friend of ours tries to exert negative influence and talk us into doing a bad thing, it is difficult to refuse. But we need to refuse it. It is important to be able to refuse without destroying the existing relationship with that friend. We need to let them know our views and feelings openly and calmly. Also we need to carefully think of and decide what and how you should say. For example, your friend cajoles you into doing what you do not want to do. You should tell him that “You are my good friend. I only say no to do this, not you.” Only you should be the one who makes the decision. Saying no is not an easy job. It is especially more difficult with close friends. But you need to know that you have the right to say no. If necessary, you need to say no repeatedly and explain why. If the thing they want to do is dangerous, you should convince them of the danger. Suggest that they should do other enjoyable and safe things instead of that. You need to say no resolutely to be able to overcome peer pressure. You should explain your opinions clearly and accurately. If you fail to convince them for the frist time, don’t get depressed. Try it for second time. You can succeed eventually. You are the only one who should make decisionsyou’re your life. You can meet good friends as well as bad friends in your life. Therefore, you should not only overcome their bad influence adamantly but also persuade those friends to change their behaviours, ideas and opinions. In addition, you should try to make new friends and at the same time you must value your old friends. In this way you can enrich your life with many good friends.
