Podcasts about Peer pressure

Ask Rachel anythingHas your teenager come home upset because their friends have suddenly turned against them? Or have you heard that your child is part of a group chat where everyone is being urged to stop talking to someone? When a friendship conflict spreads through a whole group—and onto social media—it can be hard for parents to know what to say, when to step in, and how to help without making things worse.In this episode of Teenagers Untangled, I'm joined by Dr Dominique Thompson, a physician and expert in supporting young people, to explore why teenagers can be so quick to exclude someone, and why it can feel so difficult to stand apart from the group. We talk about the role of peer pressure, black-and-white thinking and social media—and the difference between challenging hurtful behavior and shaming someone.If your child is being ostracized, you'll hear how to support them, work with the school and help them find other sources of connection. And if you're worried your teen might be joining in, we discuss how to start a conversation that encourages empathy without simply lecturing or blaming them.We'll also share practical ways to make home a safe place for difficult conversations—and a simple question that might help a young person pause before they join a pile-on.If this piece has raised anything difficult for you or your child, Samaritans are available 24/7 on 116 123 (UK).If you want to read Rachel's expanded thoughts on this topic, click hereDr Dominique ThompsonSupport the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit. You can review us on Apple podcasts by going to the show page, scrolling down to the bottom where you can click on a star then you can leave your message. Please don't hesitate to seek the advice of a specialist if you're not coping.

Two parents came to Dr. Becky on the same day, both worried about their kid's confidence. One had a kid who wouldn't join the group. The other had a teenager who wouldn't leave the group. Dr. Becky says: maybe confidence isn't what we think it is. She breaks down what confidence actually means, then she names three things well-meaning parents do that quietly work against building that kind of confidence.Thanks to Carter's, Good Inside's new Confidence Program is free for every family for the next six months.

Do you ever compare your life, career, appearance, or accomplishments with those around you and wonder if you are falling behind? In a world shaped by peer pressure, self-improvement, and constant comparison, it can be difficult to recognize your own God-given identity. The pressure to fit someone else’s expectations can leave you feeling inadequate, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the purpose God has designed for you. But Scripture reminds us that you were created with intention, unique gifts, and a meaningful role in God’s work. First Corinthians 12:4-7 teaches that believers have different gifts, forms of service, and ways of working, yet the same God is active in all of them. Your value is not determined by matching someone else’s success, lifestyle, or abilities. Instead, God invites you to discover and faithfully use the gifts He has given you for the common good. By seeking His direction, resisting comparison, and embracing your God-given uniqueness, you can learn to live with confidence and purpose—even in a world that pressures you to become someone you were never meant to be. Highlights How peer pressure and comparison can distort the way we see our value Why God created each person with unique gifts, purposes, and abilities What 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 teaches about different gifts serving the common good How career expectations and cultural definitions of success can lead to overwhelm Why your worth is not determined by accomplishments, status, or fitting someone else’s expectations Practical ways to seek God’s direction and discover what you are uniquely called to do Encouragement to embrace your God-given identity rather than allowing comparison to define your life Want more encouragement throughout your week?

Full Transcript Below: Allowing Yourself to Be Unlike Any Other in a Peer-Pressure World By: Lia Girard Bible Reading:There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. —1 Corinthians 12:4-7 Have you ever found yourself asking, “Why me, God?” or possibly, “Why not me, God?” You’re surely not alone, as we live in a world that’s often choking on comparison. Everywhere we turn, we hear and see messages about improving, doing better, letting go of things that aren't correct, picking up more correct things, developing new habits, buying the latest self-improvement tool, and so on. This pervasive peer pressure—to follow someone else’s plan—can feel clamorous, confusing, and heavy. Which is why it’s worth reminding yourself of scripture that says you’re divinely designed, with holy intention, to be different. You and I are each here to serve our one-of-a-kind purpose. Tuck this in your heart: 2 Timothy 1:7 proclaims that God gave you a spirit of power and love, not a spirit of fear. So when you’re afraid you just don’t measure up to others, you’re choosing to ignore your God-given spirit. To counteract this fear, I need to revisit 1 Corinthians 12:4-7 these days. This is because after a recent series of health struggles (although I eat clean and stay quite active), I made the difficult decision to step down from a high-stress, high-performance, full-time career and return to freelancing. My entire being was begging me to gather my senses. I needed to discern what I’m drawn to and what I’m made for. I’d been laboring on a large, powerhouse team of creatives, relentlessly required to achieve unachievable metrics. It pushed me onto a path of continual self-criticism and overwhelm. I pressured myself against the make-believe standard that my career accomplishments represented my value before God. I was enmeshed in the corporate peer pressure and convinced myself that I owed “success” to my past, my spouse, and my children. That was all until I was forced to start asking God what success looked like in his eyes. Of course, I understand we all need to make a living, but spending your life as someone you’re not... is unlikely to be what God has in mind for you. That’s why it’s so refreshing to revisit Paul's truth in 1 Corinthians 12—that we are all created by the same creator, with a singularly original design. God himself purposely fills each of us with unique longings and gifts. What an honor it is to receive this! Just read Psalm 139, and you’ll know that God created a masterpiece when he knit you together in your mother’s womb. What I feel Paul is saying in 1 Corinthians 12 is that instead of complaining about what you can or can't do, you could discover and celebrate your handcrafted role in God's overall plan. Even while there's constant peer pressure to wear the latest fashion, drive a better car, live a certain lifestyle, achieve a specific status ... you can, and should, still be you. All of us collectively are God's garden of life, and I can't imagine any garden with only one type of flower. God is continually revealing that every living thing is made by him with intention and balanced by him for the common good. So, let me reassure you today: when you stay in communication with the one who made you to be unlike any other, you can feel good about living a life that looks like you. Intersecting Faith & Life: When you think about peer pressure to achieve or adapt in ways that don’t feel right to you, consider these suggestions: Pray for God to reveal what feels good and fulfilling and well-suited to you Start a bucket list of one new thing you’d like to try each week Write down a scripture verse that feels affirming and calming to you (not what someone else tells you to write down), and tape it to your mirror Further Reading:Galatians 1:10 1 Peter 2:9 Psalm 139:13-14 Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Former police officer Brent Sanders has spent over 30 years teaching consent, sexual assault law and predator awareness to students across Australia. In this episode of I Catch Killers, he sits down with Gary Jubelin to explain how sex offenders think, what they look for, and what every parent and young person needs about how to stay safe and act respectfully when navigating the complex issues of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and consent. From why you should run, yell and fight back instead of complying, to the often misunderstood legal definitions around consent, and how too many young men are crossing the line without even realising it. In this episode: Inside the mindset of a predator and the fear of getting caught What serial attackers look for when choosing a victim Why freezing helps an offender — and what to do instead Consent, the law, and the line you can't uncross Brent's journey: arrested at 16 to becoming New Zealand’s youngest police recruit What every parent must tell teenagers about staying safe You can watch I Catch Killers on Youtube here.

Who were the Mixed Multitude, and should we be concerned about them?Exodus 12:37-38 KJVAnd the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children. And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.Related Podcasts:— Questioning or Murmuring?— Faith and the Christian Experience— Take Courage— What Doest Thou Here, Elijah?— Fear Not — For I am With Thee— We are Well Able to Overcome— Encourage Yourself in the Lord— Persistent and Consistent — Prayer Life— Let Not Your Heart Be TroubledRelated Podcasts at TrueWisdom:— The Bible's Interpreter— Receiving Wise Counsel— Complaints, Complaints, Complaints— In the Mouth of Two or Three Witnesses— Instruction vs History, Part 1— Instruction vs History, Part 2— Instruction vs History, Part 3Text UsSupport the showSend questions or comments to: BibleQuestions@ASBzone.comThe Key Principles of Effective Bible Study is a resource which outlines core concepts shown in the Scriptures that will help you to better understand many Biblical themes and doctrines.  We have an extended, 24-part podcast series on these principles, and a condensed, 9-part series called God's Precious Word, that is based on the same resource.We also recommend that you check out the True Wisdom podcast which I co-host with Robert Baker -- a different format for Bible Study.Finally, here are some additional highly recommended resources:Other Resources:— e-Sword Bible Software— MySword Bible Software— Blue Letter Bible Study Site— "Knowing the Bible" Bible MapsWe pray that all of these resources will be very helpful to you in your Bible Studies.

Liebe über alle Grenzen hinweg, ein Bandenkrieg mit tödlichem Ausgang und eine Musiksprache zwischen Klassik, Jazz und Latin. Mit der 1957 uraufgeführten West Side Story schuf Leonard Bernstein einen Meilenstein der Musicalgeschichte. Gemeinsam mit Jerome Robbins und Arthur Laurents sprengte Bernstein die Konventionen des Broadways. Mit der West Side Story wurde Musical zur Kunstform auf Augenhöhe mit Oper und Theater. Reales Zeitgeschehen bildet den Stoff. Rassendiskriminierung und Peer-Pressure bestimmen die Story um zwei verfeindete Jugendgangs im New York der Fünfziger Jahre. Die Jugendlichen aus weissem und lateinamerikanischem Milieu sind von Bernstein raffiniert durch unterschiedliche musikalische Stile charakterisiert. Operntechniken wie klassisch gebaute, komplexe Fugen stehen neben neusten Jazzströmungen, Bebop, lateinamerikanischen Rhythmen und aufwühlenden Songs. Die moderne Romeo-und-Julia-Story ist Aufruf zu Toleranz. Trotz tragischem Ende überwiegt zum Schluss die Hoffnung. Bernstein nannte sein Werk selbst «an out and out plea for racial tolerance». Die West Side Story bleibt thematisch brandaktuell und begeistert bis heute rund um den Globus: auf der Bühne im Film, im Konzert oder als Albumeinspielung. In dieser Diskothek vergleichen wir fünf Aufnahmen mit Musical-, Theater- und Operncasts. Gäste von Gabrielle Weber sind Stefan Wirth, Pianist und Komponist, und der Pianist James Alexander.

Susie watched the Boeing documentary, Freefall, which exposes the company's negligence that likely led to many of the recent airplane crashes, malfunctions, and fatalities. We learn about a Titanic-themed slide a family installed on their farm, which infuriated residents who thought it was insensitive. We debate whether making light of the tragedy is inappropriate or people are being overly sensitive. We learn the crazy reason clownfish lose all but one of their stripes as they age. We hear about a man paying a ton of money for a matchmaker, but has been on 40 first dates, and hasn't found Mrs. Right. We think we know why. In the middle of recording Susie receives dozens of texts about Dolly Parton's death, and we eulogize her on the fly. We learn what happens in the brain when we have an "aha moment." And we find out that humans are not the only animals who have pets.00:00 - Personal Updates, Exam Stress, and Comedy Show Mishaps11:27 - Unpacking Boeing's Negligence and Air Travel Anxiety20:29 - Is a Titanic-Themed Slide Insensitive or Harmless Fun?29:15 - Peer Pressure Makes Clownfish Lose Their Stripes34:09 - Why a $25,000 Matchmaker Client Stays Single44:30 - An Emotional Eulogy for Dolly Parton (False Alarm)49:25 - Exploring the Science Behind Our "Aha" Eureka Moments01:00:32 - The Evolutionary Enigma of Animals Keeping Pets01:08:17 - Reflecting on Cultural Grief and Saying FarewellBrain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Head to https://airdoctor.com and use promo code CANDY to get UP TO $300 off today!

Anne Fundner lost her 15-year-old son, Weston, to fentanyl poisoning in 2022. Weston was a high school freshman, a kid who was loved, supported, and given every opportunity his family could provide.But in one moment of peer pressure, he took a pill he thought was something else. It contained fentanyl, and he never woke up that February morning.Anne has refused to let Weston's life be reduced to a statistic. Since his death, she has spoken on some of the biggest stages in the country, testified before Congress, and fought for legislation in his name.Now, she's focused on a message she believes every parent needs to hear: the importance of talking to kids about peer pressure. Anne says fentanyl took her son's life, but the avenue that led him there was peer pressure.In this episode of Grieving Out Loud, Anne shares Weston's story, what she wishes she could have done differently, and how she's working to prevent other families from experiencing the pain she knows all too well.Related episodes: Uniting for change: A bereaved mother organizes D.C. march to combat fentanyl crisisThe Cop Who Had to Investigate Her Own Daughter's DeathHe Wanted Justice for His Son, So He Became the InvestigatorSend us Fan MailBehind every number is a story of a life cut short, a family shattered, and a community devastated.They were...daughterssonsmothersfathersfriendswiveshusbandscousinsboyfriendsgirlfriends.They were More Than Just A Number.

The Festival ExperienceOne concept discussed was how playing at major festivals like Warped Tour felt surreal and rewarding for Peer Pressure after years of hard work, particularly in the last two years 01:30.A key theme that emerged was the value of festival culture in discovering both emerging talents and established acts, not just for fans but for the musicians themselves 02:08.The unpredictability of Warped Tour's set times forces both fans and performers to stay engaged throughout the day, creating a unique community experience 02:43.2.

Language, Identity & MusicOne concept discussed was the interplay between French and English during band interviews, and how accents and dialects impact international experiences, especially at events like Hellfest 09:12.The cold Canadian climate was humorously credited for cultivating top-tier musicians, as it encourages indoor creative pursuits 11:01.4. Food on Tour – The Poutine DebateMemorable stories involved poutine quality across different Canadian cities, a bad Uber Eats order, and the debate over fancy Montreal poutine versus classic Quebec City style 16:10.A key theme that emerged was food's impact on performance—both the benefits of a healthy salad and the infamous consequences of eating bad poutine before a show 19:05.Cheese obsessions led to stories about Wisconsin's “cheesehead” culture and festival experiences 20:04.5.

Upcoming Plans & EngagementThe band is preparing to drop new music soon and planning a local festival in Rimouski focused on skateboarding and sports 25:17, 26:22.Future touring goals include a US run, with hopes to join the festival scene in Wisconsin and beyond 27:02.Notable Quotes"I'm a firm believer you don't go to a festival to see the bands you know, it's to discover the ones you don't know." 02:08"We've been a band for almost 10 years... but the last 2 years we've really given it our all." 01:33"I think in Montreal, the poutine is fancier. But in Quebec City, it's a real poutine." 16:15"How do you have cheese and metal without a serial killer?" 27:43"If we had everybody in the world like it is here at this community, we'd have no problems in the world." 24:25Resources & Links MentionedPeer Pressure on Instagram: Peer Pressure HCQCPeer Pressure on Facebook & TikTok: Search for Peer Pressure HCQCMusic Streaming Platforms: Band's music available on all major platformsUpcoming Festival: Rimouski Skate and Athlete Festival (Quebec)Documentary Platform: Tubi – for music and true crime documentariesConnect with Peer PressureFollow their journey and upcoming releases on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTokNew music dropping soonCatch Peer Pressure at future festivals and shows—especially if you're in Quebec or (soon) in the USAFinal NotesThe conversation highlighted the thrill, unpredictability, and camaraderie of the festival circuit.

Episode Summary In this Bible teaching from 1 Corinthians 10:12–13, Bobby Bosler places two familiar verses back into Paul's warning against idolatry and compromise. The Corinthians could excuse disobedience either by assuming they were already standing or by believing their circumstances left them no way to obey. This episode calls young people to reject both pride and despair, flee compromise, surrender to Jesus Christ, and depend on the faithful God who always provides grace to obey. Topics Discussed The Corinthian context of idol participation and personal rights Israel's wilderness failures as a warning to believers Spiritual pride and the danger of merely thinking you stand Hidden compromise beneath an outwardly godly appearance Why temptation is common rather than uniquely hopeless God's faithfulness, control, and promised way of escape Surrender to Christ and dependence on the Holy Spirit Key Takeaways Outward spirituality does not excuse hidden areas of disobedience. Pride says no correction is needed, while despair says obedience is impossible. No temptation makes you uniquely abandoned or beyond God's care. God remains faithful and provides the strength either to escape temptation or endure it obediently. Victory comes through surrender to Christ and dependence on the Holy Spirit, not self-confidence. Stop justifying compromise and obey the truth God has already made clear. If you've been encouraged by this podcast, please take the time to give us a five-star rating and write a brief review.

The online sports media platform RG recently ran a piece on gambling addiction in adolescents and young adults. The story caught my eye as we here at CPYU believe that sports gambling is the next big frontier for adolescent addiction. Listen to what RG says about peer influence and the role of social circles in teen gambling: Peer influence plays a significant role in gambling behaviors among adolescents and young adults. During this stage, individuals are heavily influenced by their social circles, often adopting behaviors and attitudes that align with those of their peers. If gambling is normalized within a peer group, individuals may feel pressure to participate to gain social acceptance or maintain friendships. Social media and online communities frequently promote gambling as an exciting or glamorous activity, creating a digital environment that reinforces risky behavior.” Parents, talk to your kids about online gambling, and monitor their online activity to prevent them from taking part.

As a Christian single, few things feel as heavy as family pressure to “settle down.” Holiday gatherings, family reunions, or even casual phone calls can turn into well-meaning (or not-so-well-meaning) interrogations: “When are you getting married?” “Aren't you lonely?” or “You're not getting any younger!” For many believers, this pressure creates anxiety, guilt, and doubt about God's timing for their love life. If you're feeling overwhelmed by expectations from parents, siblings, or extended family, you're not alone. This article offers […] The post Dealing with Family Pressure to “Settle Down” as a Christian Single appeared first on Christian Singles Advice | Christian Dating Advice Tips.

As our children enter the teenage years, more and more of their world begins to revolve around their peer group. While parents remain important and influential, our kids look increasingly to their peers for clues on what to believe, how to behave, and what to do in order to fit in. New research from Florida Atlantic University has found that different types of peers influence different aspects of a teenager's life. There are two specific groups of peers exerting influence. Researchers foundone's best friends shape a child's emotional state and academic behavior. They also found that the larger group of more popular peers exert an influence on how a child presents themselves in public and on social media. This reminds us that we need to be encouraging and making possible  for our kids Godly friendships that are positive. A good youth group situation can become a positive peer group, where not only is God's design for their lives taught, but practiced as well.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about a problem that has existed in first responder culture for decades and is still costing lives today: the stigma around mental health (Amazon Affiliate) that keeps officers, firefighters, and EMS professionals from asking for the help they need. Despite growing awareness, despite more resources, and despite more open conversations than ever before — stigma is still winning. First responders are still suffering in silence, still choosing isolation over vulnerability, and still dying because the culture around them made asking for help feel more dangerous than the job itself. This episode does not sugarcoat it. It names it directly and talks about what it is actually going to take to change it.

Send us Fan MailThe overwhelming sensation we feel to be like others causes us to do things we don't want to do. When that becomes our identity, crisis inevitably follows. A lesson can be taken from King Saul of Israel. His decision to disobey God's command lost him the kingdom. His excuse was he feared the people. His sin was not justified, and the consequence of his sin plagued him the rest of his life. Saul of Tarsus, whom we know as the apostle Paul, was also subject to peer pressure. However, being unmoved by its influence, continued to strive for the gospel of liberty of Jesus Christ. Galatians 2 explains that there was strong influence to enforce the law on converted Christians. This was such a strong influence, Peter and Barbabus was swept away with it. Peer pressure is something we all feel, for good or ill. However, our stand for the gospel of Christ need be bolstered by the one who restores all to Himself in love. =====Searching for answers to life's questions? Need help finding a church?

Anthony Leahey joins Locked In with Ian Bick to share his story of growing up in the foster care system after being put up for adoption as a baby, nearly finding a stable home before being taken back and moved to Florida, where his life began to spiral. As a teenager, Anthony got into trouble and spent time in both youth and adult prisons in Florida before returning to New Jersey at 21, where a murder charge led to a 30-year sentence in state prison. In this episode, he talks about what led him down that path, what life was really like serving decades behind bars, and how he completely changed his life while incarcerated. Anthony also shares how he was given a second chance through clemency from the governor, the powerful moment of receiving forgiveness from the victim's family, and the lessons he learned through it all. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStory #30Years #TrueCrime #PrisonLife #ExInmate #LockedUp #SurvivalStory #LockedInPodcast _____________________________________________ Connect with Anthony Leahey: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/infamouslifersgroup YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-R_-vNzaXM _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 From Foster Care to Prison (Full Story) 02:59 Childhood Trauma, Foster Care & Early Loss 07:02 Group Homes & Struggling as a Kid 10:08 From Juvenile Trouble to Florida Prison 15:55 Life in Prison as a Teen 21:52 Prison Violence, Survival & Sports 30:03 Release & Struggles Returning to New Jersey 34:03 Bad Decisions, Peer Pressure & Felony Charges 43:41 Arrest, Court & Taking Accountability 48:50 Forgiveness, Growth & Restorative Justice 01:03:27 Clemency & Getting a Second Chance 01:10:42 Reentry & Emotional Impact After Prison 01:18:01 Prison Advocacy & The Lifers Group 01:44:03 Health Issues & Problems in the Prison System 01:58:18 Life After Prison & Job Struggles 02:06:08 Advice, Lessons & Final Thoughts To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Boost Agency Production with Daily Morning HuddlesMatt Dietz of Agency Launch shares a simple daily morning huddle structure designed to increase insurance agency production by keeping teams focused on measurable goals. He recommends a 5–10 minute status report that starts with the agency's monthly premium goal and current pace, then has each producer report premium written yesterday, quotes generated yesterday, plans for today, and what help they need.
