Activity Safety

Stay with the group during and after activities. Let a leader know when your ride home comes, or if you need to step away from the activity for a minute.

Staying together helps us look out for each other and ensures that that the leaders can be confident in each person's safety. It makes it easier for leaders to keep track of everyone and make sure we’re all enjoying our time together.

We want everyone to have a fun and safe time during our activities.

Ideas for Handling Peer Pressure

What do you believe?
Before you can stand up for what you believe in, you need to understand what those beliefs are. Take some time to think about what is really important to you. Learning from “The Strength of the Youth” pamphlet is helpful. A few scriptures that can help you learn about commandments and standards are: Exodus 20: 3-17(The 10 Commandments), Matthew 22:37-39(The Great Commandment), Mosiah 2(King Benjaman’s Address), Doctrine and Covenants 11:12-13, Doctrine and Covenants 59:9-10.

Have faith that the Holy Ghost will guide you. If something doesn’t feel right even if you can’t explain why, have courage to follow that feeling. We aren’t expected to know all of the answers all of the time.

Things to remember: You can’t control the choices of others. You may just have to leave a situation instead of trying to convince others to change their plan.

Quick things you can say in many different situations:

- Not really my thing.

- I’ll pass on that.

- That’s not my vibe.

- I’ll sit this one out.

- I don’t think that’s for me.

- I’d rather not, thanks.

- This is a little much for me.

Someone may put more pressure on you by asking “WHY?” try saying:

- I don’t feel like getting into it right now.

- It’s just how I feel.

- I’m just doing what feels right for me.

- It’s not something I want to explain.

- I’d rather not go into it.

- It’s personal.

- I just feel that way, and that’s enough.

- If they aren’t trying to argue and genuinely want to know more then sharing details about your point of view can be helpful too.
