Other editions of book Coping With Peer Pressure

COPING WITH PEER PRESSURE Adolescence is a universal paradox, for as surely as each of us lives through it, we still find ourselves waiting for someone to explain it to us afterward. Puberty affords no built-in understanding, no innate sense of "what is going on and why." Perhaps this is why those years seem ominous to the preteen, unsettling to the adolescent, and incomprehensible enough to the parent-adult that he often finds it necessary to seek the help of publications and counselors to cope with those suffering the very adolescent afflictions he experienced himself only a few years earlier.
