They 're surrounded by this culture, and everyday are impacted by it, through their students. Ruth C. Engs, a professor at Indiana University, says that in controlled environments with a lower drinking age, teens will begin to learn responsible and sensible drinking habits. Without re-learning their pressure drinking habits, teens start to hide their drinking. This causes problems, especially when tough situations arrive. Teens aren 't able to explain their situation

That had a very negative impact on my friend because she felt like all the trust their friendship had once made was stripped down to nothing. To sum things up, being untrustworthy is felt by nearly everyone; no matter how old or how young a person is, it will most likely come with a negative

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson is about a freshman named Melinda Sordino who starts high school as an outcast and detested by her ex-friends and fellow peers. All because she called the cops at an end of the summer party that ended up with people getting arrested and the party being shut down. What everyone doesn’t know is that she did that because she was raped by a senior named Andy Evans at the party and didn’t know what to do after the traumatic incident and they don’t know because Melinda won’t speak. The conflict in the book is very similar to a book called Saints and Misfits by S.K Ali.

The Perks of real Life Scenes The sort story written By Sharon Flake called “So I Ain’t No Good Girl” is pointing out a teenage girl’s relationship with her boyfriend Raheem. The teenage girl sees what Raheem does to other girls when he thinks she’s not looking; she just doesn’t seem to realize that it is wrong. Her mom is always telling her she isn’t something a person would want. Of course, she’s going to believe what her mother tells her.

The main character of Speak is named Melinda and she faces social affiliation throughout the book. My first reason is her group of friends that stopped being her friend after she called the police on a party. “I am outcast” as Mel said when nobody in the school will talk to her. Her former best friend, Rachel, became the popular person and Rachel hates her. Second reason is Heather and Melinda not being friends anymore.

Melinda doesn’t speak because of what happened at the party and she doesn’t think anyone will believe her. Or if they do believe her then Andy would do something to her or tell people that she was lying. Andy is popular so the students would think that Melinda had just said that to receive attention and make people forget what she had done at the party. The truth was that she was raped at the party and when she called the police, all of her friends were angry at her for getting them into trouble. They don’t understand what had actually happened.

Another example of her narcissism is while doing an interview she states that her daughter was expelled from a boarding school, while in reality Joan pulled Christina from the school, because she had sexual relations with one of the students there, and Christina fights back and points that out in front of the interviewer. Joan is infuriated and pulls Christina aside, and begins to yell at her. What made Joan the most mad is that she told Christina not to ruin her interview, and then she goes on to ruin it. The

Sexism: Sexual Harassment “I was a school-going girl... One boy was pestering me to accept his love. One day, unable to bear his torture any more, I slapped him and threatened that I would make my parents report to the police. The next day he threw acid on my face when I was going to the school” (“Is It My Fault”). There are many accounts like this one of girls who have been attacked for standing up for themselves against advances from men who think only of their own needs.

Peer pressure can be as strong as the force in Star Wars because people can be bully someone into doing things. Peer pressure can make someone’s future really awful by making a terrible choice. Peer pressure is really bad for kids so young and teens since they make kids and teens have consequences of their terrible choice.
