This book is a useful guide in explaining what peer pressure is, where it comes from, and how it can affect us. Advice is given to young people, parents and teachers on how to identify and handle peer pressure, and looks at some specific examples – teenage popularity issues, bullying, risk-taking behaviours (dating pressures, sex, drugs), and social pressures to look and act certain ways. How can young people assert their individuality in the face of peer pressure?
