Question

You are helping the school nurse decide which students are most at risk for health problems. Look at these four cases. Which person seems most likely to abuse drugs because of peer pressure?

A- Everyone in Margene's family smokes. She has decided not to start. Her best friends are also committed to abstaining from tobacco use.
B- Jacob plays basketball and has to be the best player on the team. He practices all the time and eats a diet high in protein, carbohydrates, and vitamins. C- Rhonda lives in a housing project. Her parents work hard, and the whole family checks on her social life regularly to make sure she studies and stays active.
D- Ramon is outgoing and likes to give parties at his house. He's easygoing, and he likes the company because his parents are away a lot.

Answer 1

I think C. because her parents don't spend time with her, so she is most likely to use drugs without the attention. But, with peer pressure, I think A. because everyone she knows and loves smokes and uses tobacco so she is more likely to smoke as well. Hope this helps. :)
