"You know," Doug said to his wife Sue, "I really don't like the boys our son hangs out with. They dress in all black, wear chains, wear black make-up, and dye their hair. I know that the whole Goth thing is very popular these days, but do you think our

son might start going down bad roads?" What would be Sue's best answer?
a. Our son is just testing the water of a new clique. Peer pressure is not as prevalent as you might think. Besides, I'm sure these boys don't do anything we wouldn't approve of.
b. This is something we should talk to our son about, because peer pressure can really lead to bad decisions.
c. The research suggests that despite common belief, cliques such as this actually promote better decision-making and that peer-pressure is a positive phenomenon, not a negative one!
d. You deal with this. Fathers should guide their sons, and mothers should guide their daughters.
