Peer Presure
.... him. But one day, my parents warnings were valid The kid was arrested for grand theft auto and sentenced to 6 months in a juvenile detention center.

Poverty
.... T.L Berry English Professor at Oxnard College says “poverty is usually caused by the difficulty in holding and even getting a job. Ability, education, and skills help determine the kind of job an individual gets”. That is the matter.

This perspective sees society offering plenty of opportunity to anyone able and willing to take advantage of it .....

Rape
.... the sociology of rape in order to effectively work towards the elimination of it. Despite the necessity for rape prevention, it must focus on eliminating the conditions in society which make women easy targets for rape. Victim control teaches women to avoid rape, but doesn't reduce the threat of rape. Furthermore, rape cannot always be avoided, no matter what precautions the woman takes.

Secondhand Smoking

Isn’t there some way to compromise between the two? Won’t someone be unhappy no matter what the decision about banning smoking is?

In fact they are far less likely to be sexually active than teen females who do not participate in sports. I believe that all teens in general should know the results of being a sexually active teen. There are many consequences of being sexually active, one of the major one being sexually transmitted diseases. A sexually transmitted disease might not sound so bad but, some can cause sterility a .....
