Peer Pressure

First, for an adolescence: How can you tell that someone is your friend?

Second, respond to a moral dilemma (as an adolescence) posed by Berndt:
You and your friends found a sheet of paper that your teacher must have lost. On the paper are the questions and answers for a test you are going to have tomorrow. Your friends all plan to study from it, and they want you to go along with them. You dont think you should, but they tell you to do it anyway. What would you really do: study from the paper or not study from it?

***This scenario provides an opportunity to demonstrate how adolescent influence or peer pressure is a mutual process. Please discuss this concept of peer pressure in your life, community or the US. **** (REFERENCE MUST BE NO MORE THAN 10 TO 5 YEARS)
