40. Role play Manu is celebrating his 16 th birthday with his friends in his house. His parents have gone out so that they can freely enjoy, play loud music and dance. Soon Ashwin comes and gives a big present to him. Manu eagerly opens the present and sees 6 bottles if beer(alcohol). All his friends sing “Happy Birthday big boy” and then open the bottles. They give him the first glass and ask him to drink. Manu is shocked he has never touched alcohol before his parents also strongly disapprove of it, If they come to know about this they will get very angry. What should Manu do? Activity 6

41. How positive peer pressure can be created? Let’s analyze the same situation –What did Manu actually do? Manu smiled took the glass and poured the beer in the dustbin. He said-”whosoever is my true friend will also do the same.” His friend Pankaj immediately follows his action and sings- “ Yeh dosti hum nahin chhorenge ” Slowly all the friends follow them and pour beer into the dustbin. Manu then take hands of his friends and they form a big circle dancing and singing. Manu thanked everyone in the end and said-“Today, I had the best party of my life since I found my true friends.” "When we are facing a crisis, the first thing that gets negatively affected is our mental wellbeing. This, ironically, is also the first thing that will help us endure and survive the same crisis.

42. How can Peer Pressure affect Adolescents? Stated which are some of the results of Positive vs Negative Peer Pressure? Going to School regularly and participating in school activities. Run away from home with friends Disobey parents and teachers, elders and make unreasonable demands e.g.-’buy me a mobile’. Set academic goals leading to high achievement scores. Indulge in high-risk behaviours like smoking, taking drugs and alcohol, early sexual experiences, gambling, stealing etc. Develop hobbies which are fun in groups like joining school band, becoming member of a debate club. Skip school or classes and go to movies. Rag, bully and tease juniors, opposite sex or weaker students as a gang. Increase one’s self confidence due to group acceptance being self-sufficient but always in touch and in working relation-SHIPS with kith and kin. Getting involved in anti social activities-breaking of public property, stealing, gang activities even murder.

43. Tips for Maintaining Healthy Interpersonal Relationships Learn to apologize Develop good listening skills Effective communication is the key Be OK with disagreements Best way to express gratitude is by telling them that ‘I AM THERE FOR YOU’ “Our Relationships determine the quality of our life.. it is thus, in our hands that we don’t allow the Ship of our relation sink rather sail through in all times.’’

44. Basic Life Skills Curriculum for Youth Research also suggests that an integrated approach to learning is brain compatible. “The brain learns best in real-life, immersion-style multi-path learning…fragmented, piecemeal presenting can forever kill the joy and love of learning” (Jensen, 1996). The more connections made by the brain, the greater the opportunity for making high level inferences: Three ways to integrate the curriculum are: By using themes By using projects By using individual and small group studies Few suggested exemplar learning engagements for curriculum integrations: 1 .Welcome Procedure (A daily activity to begin each day/session) Write an appreciation note for a peer. 2. Invite your peer to play/discuss any topic with you at recess today. 3. Create a life skill tree to highlight the activities of life skill session. 4. “ CUE” Connection (creative, useful, emotional hook to stimulate interest in the chosen theme like Self esteem, empathy). 5.KWL - Record the following on this chart:What do we know about the topic? What do they want to learn about the topic? After the theme unit, assess the learning that has occurred as a result of the life skill integration. 7.Community Circle ( a whole class activity in which the goal is to build trust and relationships with the learners in the group).

45. Theme 6 Honing of Life skills is the key to forming, maintaining and sustaining and developing healthy Interpersonal relationships. Making the right decisions to cope with peer pressure and to develop healthy peer relationships. Key messages Life skills like self-awareness, critical thinking, empathy, coping with emotions, problem solving, decision making, communication skills play a vital role in strengthening interpersonal relationships.
