Has a friend ever tried to pressure you into doing something you didn’t want to do? That’s called peer pressure, and it’s bound to happen during middle school or high school. Peer pressure can be either positive or negative. Positive peer pressure can change things for the good. Negative can change things for the worse. Peer pressure is a powerful force—it’s something we all have to deal with. And everyone gives in to it sometimes—even adults! Fitting in is one of the most difficult issues. In this supplement, practical solutions are offered in the areas of friendship, dating, peer pressure, sports, drugs, violence, fashions and more.

Our Veterans Our Stories
2.40 MB (Password Protected- Click for Assistance)
Tuesday, November 10

Veterans are men and women who, for many reasons, donned the uniform of our country to stand between freedom and tyranny; to take up the sword of justice in defense of the liberties we hold dear; to preserve peace and to calm the winds of war. Mothers, fathers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors, shop owners in the community, teachers, athletes, Hollywood stars, or political leaders... each one could be a veteran. But as much as they may differ by gender, race, age, national origin, or profession, they share a common love for our great nation; a love great enough to put their very lives on the line, if need be, to guarantee the way of life we enjoy today, and to secure that way of life for tomorrow’s generations. The title “veteran” must be earned; it speaks of courage and sacrifice. Learn about the heroes we celebrate each year on November 11 and what we can learn from them.
