PEER PRESSURE vs SUPPORT SORTING | Peer Pressure Worksheets – Teenagers Lesson

Are your high school students struggling to recognize the difference between peer pressure and genuine support? Help them build critical thinking, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence with our engaging, reflective, and empowering Peer Pressure vs Support Sorting Activity – perfect for health classes, SEL lessons, school counseling groups, and advisory periods.

This resource has been designed to guide students in exploring what it really means to be supported by peers versus being pressured by them. Through hands-on sorting, thoughtful reflection, and meaningful discussion, students will learn how to identify red flags, build boundaries, and recognize the qualities of healthy, respectful friendships.

What’s Included in our Peer Pressure SEL Activity:

• Student Letter A supportive and encouraging letter addressed directly to students, helping them understand the purpose of the activity and feel empowered to make thoughtful choices.
• Peer Pressure vs Support Handout A clear, student-friendly explainer with examples and tips that break down the difference between helpful support and manipulative pressure.
• Sorting Cards Realistic, relatable scenarios tailored for high school students. Students sort each one as either Peer Pressure or Support – great for pairs, groups, or class-wide discussions.

Whether used in a group counseling session or classroom setting, this powerful peer pressure resource helps teens build the skills they need to make confident, informed, and self-respecting decisions in their everyday lives.
