Unit 1 Peer Pressure
Reading Comprehension
I will never be cool! During lunch today, I was hanging out in the school
cafeteria with some of my friends. Then, out of nowhere, one of the coolest kids
in school came up and started talking them. He said that he wanted
to skip the rest of his classes and asked us to join him. Everyone but me said
yes!
(a) I can only imagine what they think of me, but I didn‟t want to get in
trouble either. They left without me, and some of them made fun me,
too. Have I lost all my friends?
What you‟ve experienced is called “peer pressure.” This is when you feel like
you have to do or believe something just because your friends do it. Wanting to
fit in, many people will do things that are unwise and harmful. However, you did
the right thing. If your friends keep doing things like this, then you‟d better find
some new friends.
