Discusses the occurance of peer pressure among teens and offers advice on handling situations involving it. Peer pressure is powerful--awesomely powerful. Its impact on teens & pre-teens can be devastating. It should have the title of public enemy #1 for its role in getting teens & pre-teens involved in sex, alcohol, drugs & tobacco. Teens need the information & motivation to take control of their own lives & make right choices. That's what peer pressure is all about. Booklist (06/1/94) says, "both peer pressure & love & dating are value-based titles, stressing abstinence from sex, alcohol, drugs & tobacco ... the primary message from both titles is that each of us is incredibly special; those who recognize our worth will not push us to do anything that will harm us." the chapter, "How to be a Winner" motivates young people to excel & tells them how to do it. How important is it for teens to learn how to say no to harmful peer pressure? Some Saturday night when they're hanging out with their friends, their lives may depend on it. Peer pressure is part of a three-book series for teens & pre-teens; the other two books are love & dating & understanding your sex drive.
