Will Your Teen Give In to Peer Pressure?

http://abcnews.go.com/Health/MindMoodNews/researchers-brains-tumultuous-preteens/story?id=13094403

This article is about a doctor that has a 14 year old daughter and wanted to know how to tell which kids give into peer pressure. He didnt really come up with much other than he found out that in a bigger group kids will be more willing to give into peer pressure. He also found that the part of the brain that controls emotion also controls the part that includes risk taking. In the end of the article he basicly said that there is no solid evidence to determine which kids will fall into peer pressure and which wont.
