Yes, I do agree that if you ever feel pushed or forced into anything by your so-called friends then it is very likely taht these people are not your friends at all and that you should keep a distance. I was part of a group in the U.S. called Peer Helpers at highschool and what we did was similar to this homepage: we listened to our peers' problems and tried to lead them to find an answer. We also learned in the many trainings we went through that the first thing we do is help our peers recover their self-esteem, once they have it, it is easy to say NO to peer pressure.
