The following literature review will discuss the different ways that parents around the world approach these same factors.

The next dimension looks at drug trying and how rates have increased (especially during the 1990s) among adolescent Britons over the past few decades (Parker et al, 1998). Drug trying rates are younger than ever with young Britons being the most involved drug

In Chapter XVII, Frank continued to save up money to go to America. At his job, two boys, Eamon and Peter, teased Frank about not smoking by pointing out that a boy who doesn’t smoke won’t get any girls. This reminded me of what happens to teenagers today; they get peer-pressured by friends to smoke, do drugs, skip class, and other activities that can hurt them. Most students are smart enough to resist the threatening from their peers, but some follow through to fit in and make friends. I’ve never been through a case of peer-pressuring, but it is not a rare occurrence for others. All around us, even outside of schools, there are people setting standards on what’s “cool” to do and making other people follow the trend, whether it’s something

Unfortunately, drinking and drug use is still seen by many as a “rite of passage to adulthood”. Problem drinking places enormous personal and financial stress

According to the NEA, a reliable source to check for any situation involving education, the pressure isn’t just for students and their peers. “Many teachers also say paying students leads to practical problems in the classroom, including pressure to inflate grades, and conflict with students and parents” - NEA Article. Given this information, there are multifarious ways this can go wrong. Stress on students’ mental health to achieve academically and pressure from family can ruin them. Depressingly, the effects could be deteriorating mental health. And, in severe cases, students might find suicide as an escape. Unquestionably, this causes conflict, especially for the

The researcher sees their peers conforming to current fashions, hair styles, and behaviors daily in school. This topic is worth studying because while the test being run demonstrates a harmless example of conforming to what a group of people are doing, there are many crazes and issues that adolescents and young adults choose to follow, regardless of if they are safe or intelligent choices being made. Peer pressure is “influence from members of one's peer group”. According to an article written on peer pressure by a website called Parent Further, only 10% of teenagers that were surveyed claimed to never have made choices that were guided by peer pressure. In that same group, 28% of the subjects reached an agreement with each other that giving in to peer pressure made their social status stronger and nearly half of the subjects admitted to taking part in bullying someone only after they witnessed a friend being a bully. Drug and alcohol

The influence of alcohol and drugs is not a social issue that only involved college-age population. Starting that education begins at home we can estimate this is a general problem in today's society that can be limited only to youngest.

Recreational drugs are a relevant part of modern culture and society. Alcohol is by far the most common in America. With majority of the country claiming to drink, alcohol abuse occurs often. The continual use of alcohol has led to the end of careers and personal relationships, domestic abuse, billions of dollars in healthcare and medical expenses, and the death of millions. Although the effects of alcohol are destructive, the causes such as social pressure and coping with pain are just as detrimental to the lives of many Americans.

      In the state of Washington, pedestrians have always had the right of way. However, the recent enforcement of this law is causing traffic problems citywide. Traffic tends to come to a screeching halt without any warning. I was driving North on Nevada Street in Spokane, three of four lanes of traffic had stopped to allow a man and a young child to cross the street, the fourth lane of traffic had not stopped. Finally a car in that fourth lane of traffic stopped, causing the car behind it to slam on the brakes, literally coming to a screeching halt. Had the man and child started across the street and the screeching car not been able to stop, it would have hit the already stopped

Varicella enters through the respiratory track and mucus membranes. The virus will replicate at the site of entry, then, during the incubation period the virus spreads to the liver, lungs, lymph nodes, and finally makes its way to the skin. As the infection progresses, small skin vesicles filled with pus and infected cell particles form on the skin surface. These lesions are the 'pox' of chickenpox.

Pollution has become a prevalent issue worldwide and has begun to affect the air used to breathe, the soil used to grow food, and the water used to drink. All of these effects result in commonly occurring destruction of health and wildlife that one may have seen on the news or heard from peers. In order to live, one needs food, water, clothing, and shelter. If the water and food that society consumes gets contaminated, a major component of life has been eradicated, which can only have negative consequences. If more people are educated as to what effects the environment, the world has a chance to counteract the effects of pollution. The main causes of pollution are the burning of fossil fuels such as with car exhausts, littering as a result of societal norms and laziness, and factory waste as a result of lax waste regulation, and can result in mass destruction of the environment and catastrophic effects on the everyday lives of contemporary people.

Coming from the inner-city I have been exposed to many risk factors that affect a juvenile's chances of becoming a delinquent or serious and violent offender. Intervention, however, can decrease the chances of a juvenile becoming delinquent. There are various protective factors that can "buffer" the impact of risk factors on a child's life. My mentor was the main source of protection from the risk factors of my childhood. Despite the fact that my family was not the positive influence I needed, I am grateful for my mentor because he really taught me a lot.

The causes of social problems exist on many levels. When we ask why social problems such as poverty, unemployment, crime, and war exist, each time we determine a cause, we can ask "why" again, as children often do until they are hushed. Poverty exists because some folks can't find jobs or the jobs pay poorly. But then why is the wage level so low? Because of the tax and land-tenure systems. Why do we have those systems? Because special interests pay to legislate it. Why do special interests get away with it? The voting structure lets them. Why does that structure exist? The voters don't demand to change it. Why not?
