Share The Road: Peer Relationships

Throughout this module, you examined techniques to help you make healthful decisions and practice self-control. The key to being assertive is to stand up for your own interests while remaining considerate of others. It can be difficult to openly disagree with people, particularly when those people are your friends. However, like most sports and activities, you can improve with practice. Whenever you are faced with a difficult decision or find yourself reacting to a stressful situation, try to remember the Decision-Making Model and the Traffic Light Model.
