Introduktion
Lucy might come across as something of a rebel, sitting there in detention for her little altercation with Penny Jones (page 34, lines 23-29). You wouldn't guess it by looking at her, though.

She's practically the brightest student in the school, boasting an impressive nine O levels (page 34, line 37). She used to be a straight-A student (page 36, lines 13-15).

But then, things took a turn when she crossed paths with Bethan, a girl who knows how to stir up trouble. That friendship with Penny, it just crumbled away, Bethan squeezed her way in between them (page 35, lines 3-6).

Utdrag
Peer pressure prominently surfaces through Lucy's association with Bethan. Peer pressure embodies the compelling influence exerted by others or groups, pushing an individual to alter their beliefs, habits, and behaviors to conform to the prevailing norms.

In Lucy's case, Bethan undeniably molds her decisions and actions, exemplifying the insidious nature of peer pressure.
