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? Everyone in Margene's family smokes. She has decided not to start. Her best friends are also committed to abstaining from tobacco use. 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. 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. 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.

It would be D because he seems to not have much parental structure in his life and since he is easygoing, he is more susceptible to just going along with everyone else. Also, since he has parties, the people at the parties could be doing drugs or drinking alcohol and could influence him to do so as well.
