To overcome peer pressure, it is important to make the child confident. Always boost the self esteem and confidence so that the child never feels low about himself. Instead of avoiding a situation, the child should be able to face it. NN replied. Peer pressure can cause a lot of disturbance in a teen's life and if they get stuck with it and don't get out if that pressure then it might cause them serious problems so whenever some tells you something don't listen.

Yes parents must not keep any pressure on the kids because they do not know what it is and to where it leads parents need to give them moral support so that they too will come to know every thing. Munna replied. Hello Madhav Kundu,
I would say one word which would think correct for me that is instead escaping from the problem it would be better to face it.Because then only we can learn every thing in the life and it is good for us to take decisions in life. ritesh hari replied. My son's teacher takes time out to speak to kids about this. She tells them as to how peer pressure has negative impacts and takes up case studies and conducts debates and disucssions to drive home certain points. Encouragement and being open enough so that the child can come and speak to you about everything is important in such cases.
