Description
Staying In or Standing Out tells the story of a boy who is put under pressure by his peers to experiment with substance abuse. Without really understanding all the implications he is aware that it is something he should not do. At first he cannot see a way out without losing face but eventually he is supported to talk to his mother about what is happening. The project discusses the conflict between individuality and peer approval related to social and achievement issues in school and the community.
