Campaign: | To encourage young people not to give in to peer pressure |
We feel that young people can be tempted down the wrong path in life if they give in to peer pressure.
It can lead to destructive behaviour – such as bullying, smoking and drug abuse.
These are decisions that can have lifelong consequences, and by the time a young person wants to change the outcome of their actions, it could be too late.
With Fixers, we want to encourage others to think carefully before following the crowd.
We want young people to take a positive direction in life, and we want the older generation to lead by example.
Here is a list of Fixers helping me with this Fix:
