On the first page, the bus driver directly addresses the reader and says that he has to be gone for a while. He asks the reader if the reader can watch things, but not to let the pigeon drive the bus. (“So can you watch things for me until I get back? Thanks. Oh, and remember: Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus”) As the driver walks off one page, the pigeon walks on the next asking if he can drive the bus.
The thoughts of his friends degrading him for eating “Asian” food for lunch dwelled in his subconscious for months, or perhaps even years. Pedro’s solution was simple: get rid of the traditional Asian food and eat whatever everyone else eats, which was Lunchables. He simply wanted to fit in and not be teased anymore.

Going to school later would result in having many amazing benefits. Many kids take the bus to school and complain about the traffic the highway and even on main streets. Kids have to get up really early to catch the bus and sit in traffic because other adults are trying to go to work. If school did start and end later, the bus would not hit morning rush hour traffic or afternoon rush hour traffic. With school starting later, the bus schedule can make a tremendous change.

Defining Abnormality Defining Abnormality Psychology has many challenges when defining and classifying normal and abnormal behavior because of cultural differences, gender or sexual preferences, and age of the person. A psychologist or doctor should be aware that these three factors and others can and do have an effect on defining a behavior as normal or abnormal. Behavior should be carefully classified as well because one of these factors could make a behavior seem difference and thus make the behavior be defined or classified wrongly.

The fact is that normal and abnormal behavior is different between cultures and this difference makes it challenging to classify what exactly is normal and abnormal.
One morning I explained to Travis that drivers always have to stop for school buses when the stop sign is out, regardless of which direction they are heading. At that moment another car drove right by, and did not stop for the school bus that had its stop sign out.

That car ran the red light, and almost caused an accident. Luckily, the other driver was paying attention to the speeding motorist running the red light, and was able to avoid hitting the car.
Peer Pressure: positive or negative influence? Peer pressure is a negative on students because: It can influence adults and kids to do dangerous activities, and end up getting hurt in the end. It may also influence people to take part in actions they are not comfortable in doing. Peer Pressure can often lead to a loss of individuality from the peers that have probably done it as well.
