EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

• To stimulate young people to think critically about the kinds of pressures they live with.
  
  
• To encourage and empower them to choose for them- selves how they will respond to those pressures.
  
  
• To explore the differences between legitimate and illegitimate pressures.

In this program, comedian/teen counselor Mike Pritchard and students from St. Louis; New York City; Cleveland; Detroit; Columbia, SC.; and Gainesville, FL, talk about the pressures they face, from academic competition to peer acceptance to parental expectations. In small group dialogues, they grapple with ways of keeping pressure in perspective and handling it in a manner that serves their best interests.
