Description

Peer pressure—both offline and online—can strongly shape how young people make sexual choices. From the desire to fit in to the influence of social media, many feel pushed into decisions they’re not ready for. This episode explores real-life scenarios and practical strategies to help young people recognise harmful pressure, make informed choices, and remember that consent must always be free of coercion.
