Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Doing Drugs and Dropping Out written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report assesses the societal costs of substance abuse--especially cocaine and crack addition--and dropping out of school. It is organized around three themes: (1) the impact of cocaine and crack abuse in terms of crime, public spending, and lost productivity; (2) policies that move addicts away from crack; and (3) policies that reduce the high school dropout rate. Based on extant literature, the report quantifies a bottom-line cost of drug abuse to have been between $60.4 billion and $124.9 billion in 1988, a figure that reflects the costs of health care, economic loss, and law enforcement relating to substance abuse. Impact also is assessed in terms of private and social issues. In evaluating the success of policies that have effectively moved addicts away from drugs, important questions concerning criteria for success, motivation for drug use, and addiction are explored. Law enforcement, treatment, educational, and prevention policies are evaluated. The current literature on testing, outpatient treatment, and peer programs to reduce the motivation toward drug abuse and to move addicts away from cocaine and crack is reviewed. In response to the issue of dropout prevention, the report recommends a rethinking of the structure of high schools within a collaborative context involving parents, schools, and communities. Included in the report are a working bibliography and a community service booklet that deals with the issues of this report on a local community level. (NB)
