Scenario One: Mario, a high school freshman, is at a school football game on a Friday night with his friends Jay and Tim. Jay shows Mario and Tim a flask filled with whiskey he took from his parents' liquor cabinet. Jay and Tim each take a swig and pass the bottle to Mario, who knows he should not drink and has promised his parents he would not until he was twenty-one. When he declines, Jay and Tim laugh and say that Mario must be a "wuss." What should Mario do?
If he does what you say he should do, what will the consequences be?
What are the consequences that he avoided by making that choice?
Why do you think Jay and Tim are pressuring Mario to do something they know is wrong?
If Mario caves into peer pressure and drinks, breaking the promise to his parents and doing something he knows is wrong, how do you think that choice will affect his identity?
