The friendships that are formed during adolescence
provide teenagers with some (if their fondest memories. Friendships
can also influence individuals to do things that they normally
wouldn't do. Actions that all too often have negative and far-reaching
consequences. This informative video utilizes testimonials from
students to examine the topic of adolescent peer pressure. It
begins by focusing on the detrimental effects that occur by doing
something only to be part of the crowd, losing self-control to
the group, personal value conflicts, and being judged by the
actions of the group. Positive self-esteem and persona] decision-making
are emphasized as effective methods for dealing with negative
peer pressure. Students learn the importance of making their
own decisions, setting positive goals that are also realistic,
and weighing the consequences of hasty actions. They will also
see that the positive feelings acquired by making the right decisions
are far greater than the hurt associated with peer group rejection.
This video is a must for teachers trying to guide students along
the right path during their formidable years. Recommended. The
material is presented in a way that teenagers can identify with.

Of A Formerly Irresponsible Junior - An interesting
format and a personable teen host make this program a great one
for teaching the basics of responsibility to young people. Katie,
the show's host, tells the viewer her own story of being irresponsible
- little things like making her friends wait for her while she
gets ready for school or not taking the garbage out, even though
her mother asks her 23 times. She also shares her experience
with being irresponsible in a bigger way -- not wearing adequate
protection while rollerhlading - and the disastrous effect it
had on her life. The broken leg Katie gets from her rollcrhlading
accident keeps her laid up for quite a while and gives her a
lot of time to think. With help from her friends (and a cool
nurse at the hospital), Katie creates a formula for improving
responsibility - Thought (T2) multiplied by Actions (A), divided
by Time (t) equals Results (R). Katie's accident and this formula
