Your health class isn’t complete without bringing parents (or another trusted adult) into the mix! This POTA Interview Assignment helps teens have real, meaningful conversations with the adults who care about them. Together, they’ll talk about what it really means to belong and how to handle the peer pressure that’s everywhere right now.
 
In this homework activity, teens interview their parents about a time they felt like they had to change something about themselves to fit in and whether that actually worked. Then, they’ll swap stories about the pressures teens face today and come up with ways to build authentic friendships that feel good and last.
