    This problem of peer pressure. What is it? We all face it at home, at school, in the playground, everywhere.

    Children tend to imitate their friends as a measure "to keep up with the trend" and move with the times! Handling this problem needs a lot of understanding. Basically, the need to conform to peer pressure arises from a lack of self-esteem, and a fear of not being accepted. Baba says: "Self-confidence is the foundation of life. Just as you cannot build walls without a foundation, you cannot lead a useful life unless it is based on self-confidence." (discourse of 20-4-1998) Parents should therefore do their best to instill self-esteem, self-reliance and self-confidence in their children. Encouraging them to achieve in areas in which they show some ability can do much to bolster their selfesteem. Lets watch a real life story about 2 of our friends, who join in a new school and how they handle the peer pressure.

    What did we learn from this story? Stand up for your principles , especially if you know you are in the right and you are doing good. This is the way to God.
