This afternoon, a group of middle schoolers came into Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy as part of a health education program. They were eager to discuss the social aspects of puberty, particularly how to handle peer pressure.

I started the session by acknowledging, “Puberty isn’t just about physical changes; it’s also a time when social dynamics can become more challenging. You might feel pressure to fit in or make decisions based on what your friends are doing.”

We talked about the importance of building self-confidence and making choices that feel right individually. I encouraged them, “Always consider your values and the consequences of your actions. It’s okay to say no if something doesn’t feel right, and it’s important to choose friends who respect your choices.”

We also discussed positive affirmations and the benefits of extracurricular activities in building self-esteem and providing supportive peer groups.

Sharing strategies for navigating social challenges during puberty helps empower young people to make healthy, confident decisions.

Until tomorrow, Rania – Your Friendly Pharmacist at Doctor’s Choice Pharmacy
