With a rise in recent years in the number of students seeking mental health services, an increase in cheating behavior in school, and constant concern from parents, teachers, and especially students about academic achievement, the time is now for a book series to address academic stress. 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. show more
