| Picture yourself on the phone with one of your friends, and he
wants you to go to a party. You say, "No thanks." But he talks you
into going. When you get there, you see people drinking and smoking. Your
friends ask you to try some. But what do you do? Do you say yes,
even though you don't want to? Or do you say no, feeling uncool and
leave? Peer pressure begins early in life. Young children |
