Hello, my name is Miss Willow and I'm going to be guiding you through today's learning.

Today's lesson is called Peer Pressure Online and it fits into our unit called our online lives, what should I share online? During this lesson, we're going to be talking about peer pressure.

So, for this lesson, we recommend that you have an adult with you at all times.

If at any point throughout today's lesson, you feel upset or uncomfortable, it's really important that you close the screen and that you go and speak to a trusted adult.

Okay, let's make a start on today's learning.

By the end of today's lesson, you'll be able to describe tactics for identifying and resisting peer pressure.

Before we get started with today's lesson, we need to go over some ground rules.

These help to make sure that everyone stays safe and comfortable throughout today's lesson.

Laura says, we need to listen to others.

That means we're not going to interrupt other people if they're speaking.

Jacob says, we need to not have any judgement.

That means we're not going to judge other people for what they feel, what they think, or what they've experienced.

Andeep says, we need to respect each other's privacy.

That means we're not going to ask anyone any personal questions as this can make some people feel uncomfortable.

Izzy says that we can choose our level of participation.

That means it's up to us how much we want to join in.

We're now going to go through the keywords for today's lesson.

These are gonna pop up multiple times throughout today's lesson.

So, it's important that we have a good understanding of what each word means.

First, we've got peer pressure.

This is when someone tries to persuade or force someone else to do something.

Body image, this is how we feel about our physical appearance.

Social media, this is websites and apps that are used to share words, images and videos with other people.

Manipulation, this is when someone tries to influence someone's emotions to make them do something.

Harass, this means to repeatedly bother, annoy, or upset someone else.

As we go through today's lesson, keep an eye out for these words and see if you can remember what they mean.

Today's lesson is split into three learning cycles.

Our first learning cycle is called what is peer pressure? Our second learning cycle is called, why do we do what our friends tell us to? And our last learning cycle is called, what can we do if we're being manipulated? Let's make a start on our first learning cycle.

What is peer pressure? "Peer pressure is when someone tries to persuade or force you to do something that you may not want to do.

We can experience peer pressure offline from the people around us and we can also experience peer pressure in different ways online.

We can face many different pressures online.

We might feel peer pressure to change our appearance and our appearance is how we look." For example, some people might feel pressure to change their hair, their clothes, their make-up.

When we say that people might feel pressure to change their make-up, this could mean wearing more make-up or less make-up, or wearing it at all.

We can also feel peer pressure to change our body in some way.

For example, some people might feel pressure to change their weight, to look more athletic, to change their teeth or the way they smile.

They might feel pressure to change how their skin looks.

People can feel pressure to change many different things about their body.

Let's do a check for understanding to see how you're getting on so far.

Which pupil is correct? Aisha says, "Peer pressure is when you do something, because you want to and other people are doing it too." Alex says that "Peer pressure is when people try to persuade you or force you to do something you don't want to do." What do you think? Pause the video, tell the person next to you, tell me or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that Alex is correct.

Peer pressure is when people try to persuade you or force you to do something you don't want to do.

Well done if you got this right.

"Different genders might experience peer pressure to change their body in different ways.

Females can feel pressure to change their body shape, for example, looking slim, but having an hourglass shape.

This means having large breasts and bottom, but with a flat stomach.

Males can feel peer pressure to be more muscular.

They might feel like they should be stronger and have larger muscles, for example, in their arms and legs.

They may also feel like they should have visible muscles in their abdomen and this is often called having a six-pack.

As a result of these peer pressures, both males and females might feel forced into changing their body and how they look.

Other people pressuring them to make changes to their body can lead to negative body image.

Someone with negative body image feels negatively about their body and the way they look." Let's do another check for understanding.

Is this statement true or false? "Only females experience peer pressure to change how their body looks." What do you think? Pause the video, tell the person next to you, tell me or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that this is false, but why? "Both males and females experience peer pressure to change how their body looks.

For example, males can experience peer pressure to look more muscular and this can negatively affect their body image." Well done if you got this right.

"People can also feel peer pressure to change their lifestyle." Lifestyle means what you choose to do with your time.

"For example, people might feel pressure to give up a hobby that they enjoy, or they might feel pressure to continue to do something that they don't enjoy.

A boy might feel peer pressure to stop doing ballet, because his friends incorrectly think that ballet is only for girls.

A girl might feel peer pressure to stop playing football, because her friends incorrectly think that football is only for boys." Jacob tells us that "Someone could also experience peer pressure to stop doing something, because they incorrectly think that it's not cool, or they incorrectly think that they're too old for it." "People can also experience peer pressure to use or behave on social media in a certain way." For example, they could feel pressure to use social media when they don't want to, they could feel pressure to check social media frequently, they could feel pressure to use specific social media apps, they could feel pressure to follow people on social media that they don't really want to follow.

They could also feel pressure to post photos on social media that make them look perfect.

When we say perfect, this might mean editing photos to change their appearance, or only posting things which are fun and exciting.

"Experiencing peer pressure when posting on social media can be risky, because what someone posts on social media is often difficult to delete." For example, "Someone could post a picture on social media that their friend pressured them to post and they might then regret it, perhaps, because they feel embarrassed or uncomfortable.

By the time, that they have deleted it themselves, it could have been shared with others maybe without them knowing." Let's do another check for understanding.

Which of these are examples of peer pressure? A, other people telling somebody to give up a hobby that they enjoy.

B, other people telling someone that their social media posts are funny, or C, other people telling someone to download a social media app.

Pause the video, tell the person next to you, tell me or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said A and C.

These are examples of peer pressure.

Other people telling someone to give up a hobby that they enjoy is one example of peer pressure and another example of peer pressure is other people telling someone to download a social media app.

Well done if you got this right.

We are now going to put your learning from this learning cycle into practise.

I'd like you to complete the table and to give examples of peer pressure.

In the table, we've got three columns, appearance, lifestyle and social media.

Can you think of what else could go in the table? In the appearance column, you've already got change your weight and body shape.

Can you think of what else could go in the table? Pause the video and I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Okay, let's have a look and see what you might have said.

In the appearance column, you might have said, "Change your weight and body shape," as you already had filled in.

"Change how muscular you are.

Change your hair, make-up and clothes.

Change your teeth or your smile." In the lifestyle column, you might have said, "Give up a hobby, start or continue a hobby, stop doing something because it's not cool, or stop doing something because you are too old." In the social media column, you might have written, "Use social media when they don't want to, post perfect photos, use specific social media apps, or follow people on social media that they don't want to." Well done if you've got any of these or something similar.

We're now going to move on to our second learning cycle.

Why do we do what our friends tell us to? "It is not easy to resist peer pressure.

It can be difficult to say no to our friends if they ask us to do something.

This is especially true if they already have done or are doing what they've asked us to do.

Sometimes, we might give into peer pressure, because we don't want to feel left out." Here, Alex is on the outside and Andeep and Laura are on the inside of the circle.

Alex might do something in order to feel closer to Andeep and Laura.

He might give into this peer pressure.

Learning to say no requires a lot of strength and practise, especially if we are saying no to a friend, or someone that we like.

Learning to say no requires strength and practise, especially if we are saying no to a friend, or someone that we like.

Good friends should always respect your boundaries, even if they decide to do something different.

Alex might say, "No thanks, I don't want to do that." And Andeep is being a good friend, because he is respecting Alex's boundaries.

He says, "That's okay! I respect your decision." "Peer pressure can also be caused by manipulation tactics.

Manipulation tactics are ways that someone can influence another person's emotions in order to make them do something.

People can use manipulation tactics, because they want to pressure someone to do something that benefits them." Someone might use manipulation tactics, because they think it's funny, because they don't want to be the only one to do something, maybe because they feel guilty about doing something and want someone else to do the same thing, so they feel like it wasn't just them.

Now, let's do a check for understanding.

Is this statement true or false? Manipulation tactics can influence a person's emotions to make them do something.

What do you think? Pause the video, tell the person next to you, tell me or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that this is true.

It is true that manipulation tactics can influence a person's emotions to make them do something.

Well done if you got this right.

"One example of a manipulation tactic is called flattery.

Flattery involves giving someone lots of compliments, or giving them lots of praise." Someone online could say, "You are such a great friend.

Could you follow this link for me?" "When someone gives us lots of compliments or praise, we might start to trust them more and want to make them happy.

This makes us more likely to do something for them if they ask.

Another example of a manipulation tactic is called guilt-tripping." This means making someone feel guilty for not doing something, so that they're more likely to do it to avoid feeling guilty.

Someone online could say, "If you were really my friend, you'd post that photo of us on social media." "Feeling guilty is a powerful emotion.

It can make us behave in ways that we normally wouldn't.

So, when someone makes us feel guilty, this can influence our behaviour." In this example, someone might feel like they have to post that photo on social media, because they want to prove that they're that person's friend.

And they'll feel guilty if they don't.

"Another example of a manipulation tactic is called extortion.

This means someone using force or threats to gain something from you," usually, this is to gain money.

Someone online might say, "If you don't send me 50 pounds, I'll share that information you told me on social media." Some people don't realise how serious extortion is.

People who use extortion make the other person feel scared and when they feel scared, this influences how they behave.

They're more likely to give into the peer pressure.

"One way someone might try to manipulate someone through extortion is by taking a screenshot of a conversation or image.

A screenshot is a capture of the screen of a digital device.

The person may then threaten to share the screenshot, unless the other person does something for them.

A person might also not know that someone has taken a screenshot as a lot of apps don't notify you if someone has done this." Now, let's do another check for understanding.

Which of these scenarios is an example of using extortion as a manipulation tactic? A, someone online saying, "I dare you to tell me a secret you have," or B, "If you don't send me 10 pounds, I'll tell everyone that secret you told me." Which of these is an example of extortion? Pause the video, tell the person next to you, tell me or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said B.

B is an example of extortion, because they are saying that if the other person doesn't send them money, they will tell everyone that secret.

This makes the other person more likely to do as they asked.

Now, let's put your learning from this learning cycle into practise.

You're doing a fantastic job, so, keep it up.

I'd like you to tell the person next to you, which manipulation tactic is being used in each scenario.

I'd then like you to explain how you know.

The first scenario is someone online saying, "If you really cared about me, you'd follow the social media accounts I sent you." The second scenario is someone online saying, "I took a screenshot of that photo you deleted.

If you don't send me 50 pounds, I'll post it on social media." And our third scenario is someone online saying, "I bet you are so pretty in real life.

Could you send me a photo of your face?" Pause the video and I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Okay, let's have a look and see what you might have got.

You might have said for the first scenario, "If you really cared about me, you'd follow the social media accounts I sent you," you might have said that this is an example of guilt-tripping, because this person is making someone else feel guilty for not following the social media accounts they sent them.

For the second scenario, "I took a screenshot of that photo you deleted.

If you don't send me 50 pounds, I'll post it on social media," you might have said that this is an example of extortion, because this person is threatening to share a screenshot they took on social media if they aren't given money.

For the last scenario, "I bet you are so pretty in real life! Could you send me a photo of your face?" You might have said that this is an example of flattery, because the person is complimenting them, so that they're more likely to send them a photo of their face.

Well done if you got these right.

We're now going to move on to our final learning cycle.

What can we do if we're being manipulated? "Peer pressure can come from people we know and it can also come from strangers online.

If someone asks us to do something for them, we should think about what do they gain from it? 'What are the risks for me?' We should also think about how we feel when we're asked to do something.

If someone uses a manipulation tactic on us, sometimes, we might feel that something just isn't quite right.

We might start to feel sad or uncomfortable, or we might feel scared or nervous.

If anything online makes us feel uncomfortable, or we're wondering if someone is using a manipulation tactic on us, it's really important that we always tell a trusted adult.

A trusted adult can help us stay safe online." We're now going to do another check for understanding.

Is this statement true or false? If we feel uncomfortable online, or we think that someone is using a manipulation tactic on us, we should tell a trusted adult.

Pause the video, tell the person next to you, tell me or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said that this is true.

It is true that if we ever feel uncomfortable online, or we're starting to wonder if someone's using a manipulation tactic on us, we should always tell a trusted adult as they can help us to stay safe online.

Some people also use the internet to bully or harass other people online.

This can also be a part of peer pressure.

Harassment means to repeatedly bother, annoy, or upset someone else.

This might look like sending them lots of unkind messages, commenting unkind messages on their posts, or editing their photos or videos in a way that is unkind.

Harassment and bullying are behaviours that happen repeatedly, which hurt the feelings of someone else.

This means that they must happen more than once.

In most cases, the person doing the bullying or the harassment is aware that they're being unkind.

And therefore, they're doing it on purpose, because they want to hurt someone else's feelings.

Izzy says that we should always tell a trusted adult if we think that we're being bullied or harassed, either online or offline.

Now, let's do another check for understanding.

Which of these scenarios is an example of harassment.

A, calling someone an unkind name on their social media, B, leaving someone multiple unkind messages on their social media, or C, telling someone how to improve their posts on social media? What do you think? Pause the video, tell the person next to you, tell me or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said B, leaving someone multiple unkind messages on their social media is an example of harassment.

Because it's happening repeatedly and they're not being kind.

Well done if you got this right.

"If you're being bullied or harassed online, you should tell a trusted adult, so that they can report the account.

This can involve clicking the report button and clicking a reason for why you're reporting them, for example, because of manipulation, bullying or harassment.

We can also keep a record of times when we feel that we are being harassed, manipulated or bullied online.

This means keeping evidence of things that have happened that have upset us.

This might include taking screenshots of unkind or manipulative messages where it is clear to see who sent them and when.

It might involve taking screenshots of unkind messages left on posts, or comments where someone is using a manipulation tactic.

It's important that you have evidence of who sent them and when in case the other person deletes them.

Our trusted adult can also block people if we're being manipulated, bullied or harassed online.

This stops someone from being able to contact us on that platform.

Blocking people can help keep us safe if someone's manipulating us, if they're making us feel peer pressure, or if they're harassing us." Now, let's do another check for understanding.

What should we do if we think we're being manipulated online? A, report the account.

B, reply to the account with an insult.

C, block the account or D, tell a trusted adult.

What do you think? Pause the video, tell the person next to you, tell me or have a think to yourself.

Well done if you said A, C and D.

If we think we're being manipulated online, we should report the account, or ask a trusted adult to do this for us.

We should block the account and we should always tell a trusted adult.

They can help us to take the right steps to make sure that we are staying safe.

Now, let's move on to your final practise task.

I'm so proud of you so far, so, keep it up.

I'd like you to identify the manipulation tactics that Sofia's friend is experiencing.

Sofia says, "My friend said that someone online messaged her to say he would pay her money if she said where she lived.

He then said she was really pretty and asked for a photo of her face.

Now, he's saying, if she really likes him, she would tell him which school she goes to." For the first part of the task, I'd like you to identify the manipulation tactics that her friend is experiencing.

And for the second part of the task, I'd like you to suggest three pieces of advice that Sofia could give her friend.

Pause the video and I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Okay, you might have said that Sofia's friend is experiencing extortion, guilt-tripping and flattery.

You might have said that the advice that Sofia could give her friend, is to tell a trusted adult what's happening to get a trusted adult to help with reporting or blocking the account.

And Sofia could also tell her friend to take screenshots of the messages in order to keep a record of what has happened.

Well done if you got this right.

We're now going to summarise the key learning from today's lesson.

We've learned that we face different pressures online.

For example, pressure to change our appearance, lifestyle and how we use social media.

This can also affect our body image in a negative way.

We've learned that some people use manipulation tactics in order to pressure us to do something that benefits them.

We've learned that some of these manipulation tactics, are flattery, guilt-tripping and extortion.

We've learned that we can experience peer pressure from people that we know and strangers, both online and offline.

We've learned that it's important to tell a trusted adult if someone is harassing, bullying, or putting us under pressure online.

The trusted adult can then report, or block the person's account.

We can also keep a record of the behaviour, for example, by taking screenshots.

In today's lesson, we've talked about some tricky topics.

If you have any questions or worries, it's really important that you speak to a trusted adult.

There were also some organisations on the screen, who are there to support you.

Well done for your fantastic hard work today.

I'm really proud of you and I hope to see you again soon.
