Detailed Description
By Thomas Paul Tarshis, M.D.
There are many different forms of peer pressure, including hurtful comments, being influenced by others to buy material items, or feeling pressured to behave in a certain way or engage in a particular activity.
Bullying is different from peer pressure because there is a direct threat of physical or emotional harm for not doing something, which is repeated over time by the same person.
Emphasizing situations that are common among teens, this book examines the nature of these two common behaviors, the effects they have, and how teens can combat them. Chapters cover:
- the coercive power of peer pressure
- the risks and rewards of telling the truth
- cyberbullying
- helping others cope with bullying
Includes appendices, glossary, sidebars, and suggestions for further reading. 176 pages. Softcover. 6 x 9. May 2010.
