In high school, teens will worry about many things including grades, their future, college, the economy, fitting in socially, and parent expectations. That's okay, these are things they should be focused on. They also worry about things that shouldn't be on their plate; bullying, violence, and drug and alcohol use. "Peers Influence Peers XVII: What We Worry About" is an hour-long program that fuses documentary material with an original screenplay that addresses these potentially dangerous issues. It's a program produced by youth for a youth audience. Follow the lives of seven teenagers who are part of a group counseling session. The issues they face are what our youth see every day. Brian is an alcoholic, Jane drinks as well, Sharon comes from a home with an abusive father and is a "cutter", Michael is Gay, bullied and attempts suicide, Randy is a bully, Jane a meth addict and Suzanne abuses prescription drugs.
