Peer Pressure Kids,parents..school..

There is going to be peer pressure for sure. I think as parents we can help them with it. You should talk to your kids about everything and make them feel like they can talk to you about anything. But never force them to tell you everything that happens in their lives.
Even parents might feel pressure when they see other kids scoring amazing marks or going to amazing colleges. But don't worry about it. Talk to your kid about it, ask him what he wants and help him with it.
Talking about my case itself, I have a daughter. She graduated 12th grade and told me she wants to take an year off and join an air hostess training institutes in Kerala. Even though my husband wasn't sure about letting her take a year off, I talked him into it. Now I can see my daughter very happy and working hard to get into the best airlines here.

So always support your kids. If somethings goes wrong, it's always a lesson for them which they won't repeat in their future.
