Today’s episode will focus on Gangs are dangerous
Can you guess why I chose this topic? It is important for young people to understand how peer pressure can cause them to act in a dangerous or harmful way. We will talk about why some people join a gang so that we can remove the myths associated with being in a gang. When we understand the negative impact of gang membership, we are more likely to be able to resist joining a gang.
After this episode, you will be able to:
1) Define the term peer pressure
2) Describe some of the signs of gang membership
3) Consider why some young people may want to join a gang but most others do not
4) Explain some of the consequences of gang membership
