Question

which method will best help a young person remain abstine when their friends are starting to drink?
○ hanging out with those friends at school only
○ joining a club or other activity with different friends
○ confronting their friends to convince them to stop
○ avoiding those friends and hoping they do not notice

Explanation:

To determine the best method, we analyze each option:

• "Hanging out with those friends at school only" still exposes the young person to the friends who are drinking, increasing temptation.
• "Joining a club or other activity with different friends" provides a positive social environment with peers who likely share similar abstinent goals, reducing the influence of the drinking friends.
• "Confronting their friends to convince them to stop" is unlikely to be effective and may damage relationships, and it doesn't directly help the young person stay abstinent.
• "Avoiding those friends and hoping they do not notice" can lead to social isolation and may not be a sustainable solution.

Answer:

B. joining a club or other activity with different friends
