The SOS: Stressed Out Students books address a growing and often-overlooked crisis: adolescents struggle with stress, compromising their mental and physical health, personal values, and commitment to learning as they try to cope with growing pressure to achieve. In a survey released last year, 460 parents in California’s Santa Clara and San Mateo counties cited school-related stress among their top concerns for their children. Based upon real-life stories and tips from teachers, students and parents, each book in the SOS series addresses a topic of utmost concern to American teenagers.
SOS: Stressed Out Students' Guide to Handling Peer Pressure offers a life-line to students, parents, teachers, and counselors facing the enormous and unforeseen peer pressures that make up an important--if not the most important--part of teenage life. From cigarettes and sex to drugs and alcohol, the SOS guide will help students to cope with a society that often asks them to grow up too soon--and classmates who press them to keep with the pack.
