ReplyDeleteAt that time I was in class 9. Many of my friends bunked class so I too joined them. I had lot of fun spending time with my friends,going to a movie, eating out. However, later at night l felt guilty lying to my parents. Next day l promised myself that I would not do it again even if it meant l had to break away from my friends. On seeing me in a very stern mood the next day my friends asked me the reason and l told them that l would never do what I did yesterday again. At first they laughed but soon they could see that l was not going to be affected by theri ridicule and they stopped.

ReplyDeleteThere are times in a person's life when he/she gets directly/indirectly involved with class mates / peers during the school time. I had my education in KV where at times, students used to bunk the periods and go to the playfields. Many a times, I also joined them because curiosity gets the best of scruples. But later on, after discussing the same with my parents, I was apprised that doing negative things is not good and hence I started refraining from the same.
ReplyDeleteI had always avoided such friends and thought it's better to be in ones own company rather than being in negative peer pressure and would always suggest to refrain yourself from such acts.
ReplyDeleteAvoided company with such friends
ReplyDeleteI bunked some of my classes in influence of some of my friends which were not so close. I did so just to feel and allow myself to be adventurous and independent. Doing such things in controlled manner during school era boosts confidence also,as in my case.
ReplyDeleteit is a spledid concept
ReplyDeleteActivities done for peer pressure
ReplyDeleteIt is a really splendid courses
ReplyDeleteAt that time I was in class 10. Many of my friends bunked class so I too joined them. I had lot of fun spending time with my friends,going to a movie, eating out.

ReplyDeleteOne of my friends was cleptomaniac.Though she was rich, She used to steal eatables, pens, erasers from shops. Influenced by her , I too started stealing things from shops. For persuing higher education, we got admission in different colleges. Thereafter,I stopped stealing things.

ReplyDeleteIn these situations students involve only under peer pressure or to have fun without thinking its after effects.But they should avoid such situations.
Only once did I bunk class in my school life and that was the day my father walked into my school to give me my tiffin box that I had forgotten.Realisation and guilt made me never do it again, though I was not caught as I had gone back to school half day.
ReplyDeleteProbably I wasn't the kind of guy who would have reacted or responded in such situations and would definitely have stayed aloof to avoid further complications. As you see I was more of an introvert kind though I did have a few very good friends.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in school many of my friends used to adore cinema heroes to a extreme level and they used to bunk classes to watch movies. I generally don't join because my father never accept that. Some of my friends started smoking. Some friends used to think about girl friends. I used to be the silent spectator.
ReplyDeleteWas introvert and didn't face much peer pressure. Only studies
ReplyDeleteSome teenagers attain maturity a little late than the others and thus get easily carried away by the peers' expectation. Everything they do seems to be an excitement for them. When I came across friends of this category, I tried checking them as I was always guided by healthy minded parents who were very much concerned about our positive growth.
ReplyDeleteAs an introvert , did not interact much with others
ReplyDeleteOne of my friends was in a habit of keeping things which were lost by other students.I tried to convince her not to do so but she never listened saying nobody claimed the lost things.
ReplyDeleteAt my teenage time one of my friend has smoking habit and I told him not to do but he didn't listen...
ReplyDeleteYes
DeleteIn Class 10, I had bunked classes and was sitting in the lab instead. It troubles me till date that I could have been caught.
ReplyDeleteBut this incident gave me an insight that it's important what company I keep as I will be considered to be like them.

ReplyDeleteSelect good friends
ReplyDeleteIts better to stay away from such a company that leads you to a wrong path.So,its better to be alone than a bad company!!
ReplyDeleteIt is always better to be alone and with few good friends than becoming a part of such bad companies.
ReplyDeleteMy parents are my role model so whenever I faced such a situation the qualities of my parents always guided me to tackle with such situations. Although I bunked classes but it was always balanced by studying more when required.
ReplyDeleteMy parents always guided me and supported me to choose my peer group and helped me through out All i have learnt through this age is that we should be very careful in choosing our peers and must have positive attitude towards life

ReplyDeleteI used to share everything that happened in the school with my parents so they knew my classmates and the other children . Their constant guidance has always prevented and protected me in going in the wrong direction.
ReplyDeleteDidn't face any such situation

ReplyDeleteI have had a moment in life where is was considered cool to wear high heel sandals and, it was a peer thing where as, I had a tomboy attitude and behavior. However, just to make things seem cool I was adamant on buying high heel sandals and ended up spraining my ankle. After which I learnt my lesson and my parent mad me understand that, I need not follow every whim of adolescence.
ReplyDeleteIt is a phase where every child faces at some point or the other. So, here the parent can play a vital role in helping the child understand.
Never tried to do such things.. or I should say I never needed such things.
ReplyDeleteI didn't face such conditions
DeleteIt was for organising some school activities I bunked school when I was in 9, so the act was justified. Then frequnted in class10 for movies and parks. But close to exams, had an introspection and sprang back to discipline
ReplyDeleteDuring my teenage years I was just innocent . In our school principal was very strict and parents are also responsible in every aspect. Therefore I can't find any scope to bunk class. But one memory haunt me now. One day with few of my classmates ( deemed cool ) I went to our bean field in tiffen period but it was very late to came and join the class 4th period. Teacher scold us very politely ( with a smile ) and told us don't do again. That particular school day I imagine till today and remember my respected sir !
ReplyDeleteAs my parents were very careful for me so I never have had faced such situations . I was having friends with the same honest and sincere background so no any special memories regarding this topic.
ReplyDeleteI had always tried to stay away from the negative peers pressure because healthy and positive approach always stay us ahead in life.
ReplyDeleteI had always needed a helping hand to guide me through my shyness and reservedness. I would probably had a better future if I had had a good counselor in my school days. I realize what a guidance minded teacher can play in students' lives. I opine that even the parents need to be called for a timely meet to discuss student behaviour more than academics. Counselors need to advise the parents too regarding mental well-being of the children, as most of them do not understand sensitivity of the child's thoughts. Good upbringing doesn't mean only providing education, food and other basic necessities. Emotional care and support plays an equal role as a necessity in a person's life.

ReplyDeleteIn todays world when things are changing at a faster pace it's the responsibility of the peers to come forward and help each other to fight with any emotional and social stress that any one face. Children can better open up amongst their friends rather parents.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to copy an actor and but ended up performing in my own own style. i felt happy when friends and teachers appreciated my act.
ReplyDeleteIn today scenerio , due to high exposure on social media about everything, students are getting mature earlier, by looking at them they try to copy them to look cool but end up with some thing wrong in their life. It is the equal. Responsiblilty of parents and teachers to keep an eye on students their behaviour. Time to time councelling is required.
ReplyDeleteParent, teacher and peer are the trio which play a very important role in the life of a teenager. These three stakeholders decide the reactions and actions of the teenager as s/he is very much influenced by them. A teenager may choose a wrong path in the influence of of one of the above mentioned stakeholders. so everyone has to play a vital and careful role in shaping the future generation.

ReplyDeleteI am thankful to God that I had very understanding and supportive parents.
This allowed honest communication. I was fortunate to have good set of friends at school along with caring teachers.
All these helped to steer through the difficult years.
Now as an educator it is my turn to give back the guidance and motivation that I recieved.
Parent, teacher are the role models
ReplyDeleteBunking classes. It was difficult, but one had to keep up with one's peers because you might not be "in with it". It became acceptable after a while, though now, in retrospect, I do wonder at the lack of confidence, and wish I had not given in to the need to be accepted. It has, however, made me more understanding of why students do this, even now, and can access their thinking, having been in their shoes once upon a sometime.

At Teenage years, one is often confused about where to go, what to do, what is right and wrong. This is the stage where an individual gets easily influenced by their peers just to feel as acceptable.
ReplyDeleteI remember the days when one of my close friend told me about how to chew the tobacco and insist me to use it. At first i could not refused and use some tobacco. When i used it i became unconscious and describe the whole story with my parents. I am very thankful of my parents for the counselling me. After that i never touch such things.
ReplyDeleteI remember drinking coffee for the first time in my friends house, where in i was instructed by my parents not to eat/drink in stranger's house. Though drinking coffee is not a mistake, but I I was forced to do so by my friends without my parent's knowledge. Now I feel their rule was for my good, I shouldn't have broken their trust
ReplyDeleteSome times I also forced to support my peers but later my mind settled by the guidance of my parents and teachers. There after i could achieve a good friendship circle and still I'm continuing spending time with them.
ReplyDeleteNever ever dare to do such things as a teenager because my father and mother were teachers and my friend circle was good never face a negative peer pressure. My mother always use to tell us moral stories and always try to inculcate good habbits in us.
ReplyDeleteMy parents always guided me to be with good friends. I don't remember doing such acts in my adolescence
ReplyDeletebe careful in selecting friends
ReplyDeleteStay away from negative peer pressure
ReplyDeleteStayed away from such friends. Looked down upon them . initially wondered how they could do such things, later stopped mingling with such friends. It's better to have no friends than having such friends.
ReplyDeleteIt was impossible for me to bunk class but I bunked my coaching classes very much just tto hang out with friends and eat some street food
ReplyDeleteNever tried any of those since my parents have brought me up with strong moral character and good qualities with a spiritual background.
ReplyDeleteMy parents were open enough to discuss such topics with me in my teenage.so I tried to avoid such friends and situations
ReplyDeleteSelect good friends
ReplyDeleteI was in the 11th Standard when I started making few few friends. All of them were considered cool because they went to movies by bunking classes and sneaking out of classrooms during class time. I got influenced and joined them. Initially I use to enjoy it , but after a couple of months it started impacting by studies and I confided about it to my parents. They encouraged me to enjoy life but not at the stake of my studies. Together we fixed a schedule which included movies once a week along with proper study time. It is very important to have a friend in the family with whom we can share our apprehensions. I found a friend in my parents for which I am thankful forever.
ReplyDeleteAs teenagers I also have done some activities which are not acceptable. But, with the mature and able guidance of my parents and teachers we were able to keep away from repeating such activities. I always feel that our group of friends have a great influence in shaping our character.
ReplyDeleteAs a teenager I have done some of these things under peer pressure but then there were times when I refrained myself too. I thought about my parents , the values that they taught and that helped me overcome some of these struggles as a teenager.
ReplyDeleteI never done any of these as one saying of my sister keeps resonate within me that anything which you can't share with your parents and friends are forbidden and sin. This helped me to be away from these risk- taking activities.
ReplyDeleteI have not done such deeds in my life as my father was in Army and as a child I lived a very disciplined life
ReplyDeleteNever had a chance to do these type of things in school as my father was there in the school. Only in class 5th I, picked up a habit of playing marbles and to purchase marbles I started picking up money from home. Once I was caught and after that one tight scolding made me understand where I was wrong.

ReplyDeleteFortunately I was brought up in a small town but in one of the most prestigious school. My school days were filled with innocence and same with all my class mates. We were not exposed to such vices among our peers or seniors. I think the only thing we did indulge in once was bunking a class and spent extra time in the washroom. The punishment we received on reaching late to class was sufficient enough to teach us a lesson and feel guilty.
