 Cyber Cafe(网吧)computer centers are found in many cities around the world. Now,a few American high schools are opening these centers. For example, high school in the state of Mary?land began operating a Cyber Cafe last March. All students at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in Bethesda can use the Cyber Cafe. But school officials say it especially helps students who have no computer or cannot use the Internet at home.

  The officials say thirteen percent of the students at the school are from poor families. Many students have arrived in the United States from other countries only recently. Students in the school's program for learning English speak twenty-three other languages.

  The idea for a Cyber Cafe at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School began three years ago. At that time,officials were planning to restore the school building. Parents interested in technology proposed a Cyber Cafe.

They wanted this center even though schools in the area had suffered budget(预算)cuts. The community wanted to help. It wanted all students to have the best chances to learn.

  Officials in the area supported the idea. So did an organization called the Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School Educational Foundation. The foundation includes parents, teachers, former students，and business，community and other leaders.

  Over two years,the foundation collected money for a Cyber Cafe and other new computers. It received more than one hundred seventy thousand dollars. The Cafe now has six?teen computers, a printer and a scanner(扫描仪).School official Ann Hengerer says students use the Internet to complete research. They also write homework and required papers on the comput?ers. In addition, they can send and receive electronic mails. That is especially helpful for the many students who have family members in other nations.

  The Cyber Cafe also serves a social purpose. Visitors can stop by for a drink of coffee, tea or hot chocolate. On Long Island, New York,the Walther G. O'Connell Copiague High School has six computers in its Cyber Cafe. One student at the school says students can start their home?work even before they leave school.

 It is reasonable to say that every teenager can be affected by peer pressure(来自同辈的压力） at some point. Every day,in any high school, peer pressure has a major influence over the be?havior of teenagers. It can be as subtle(微妙的)as being persuaded to be late for class or as ex?treme as a dangerous drug. Whether subtle or extreme，peer pressure can have damaging，some?times life changing, and even serious results.

  "Teens don't often consider the long-term results that some behavior can cause,”said Terri Price，a researcher. " Peer pressure can be very difficult to handle for many teens because of their fears of not fitting in". Peer pressure has always been part of teen life,but teens experi?ence it differently than their former generations did in the past. Sources of peer pressure have in?creased because of the Internet and other electronic communications.

  Recognizing peer pressure can be as simple as noticing that you have been asked to do something that you are not comfortable with. " Listen to your instinct(直觉)，which is a sign for whether something is right or wrong. If it feels wrong, then most likely it is," said Price.

  Teens are in a time of life when they are still discovering who they are. Many teens are in?fluenced by peer pressure because of their insecurities(不安全感).This can make them helpless especially when their self-control is weak or they lack healthy support,causing them to take risky behavior or turn to unhealthy support.

  Dealing with peer pressure is a topic of concern for teens. People can say, "Just say no," but the truth is that the statement is easier said than done.
