Frequently Asked Questions About Peer Pressure
Everyone likes to be accepted and admired by others. During the teen years especially, this desire to be liked may lead to some difficult pressures. Should one cheat on a test or lie to a friend in order to be liked by others? And what should a person do when his or her peers start to drink, use drugs, and/or have sex? Friends are often a big influence, and it can be hard to know what to do or how to stand up for one's beliefs. This book deals with peer pressure, an issue every teen must cope with at one time or another.

Series Review: FAQ Set 5"This series takes a whole-body approach to teens' lives, discussing the issues that affect both their physical and emotional well-being. Accessible narratives present bulleted information, list myths and facts, discuss risky behaviors, and dispense wellness advice. The books adeptly reach out to both genders, especially Athletes and Eating Disorders and Exercise Addiction, which address concerns about professional athletes as role models and students' desires to please coaches. Crisp, captioned color photos (eyepopping in Body Piercing and Tattooing) are found throughout; Human Papillomavirus and Migraines and Headaches also include drawings that illustrate anatomy and physiology."
