 School Hacker Faces Prison!
One morning, Kevin Lehman, a teacher at Greenwood High School in Texas, was grading his students’

maths tests. The problem was Lehman knew that he hadn’t. The boy’s grades had always been dreadful. 
So, who had changed the scores on the computer?

Principal called the police. The police found copies of some final exams with all the answers in Dan’s 
desk. When they questioned Dan, he realised he was in a dangerous position and it was better to be 
truthful. He admitted that he had hacked into the school computer because he wanted to study law

 A Good Job
In the past when married couples had problems they usually split up or continued to live together in an family” recently. I hadn’t met her before, so she came to our house with her mother and father. It was 
a very formal occasion because they all think that this girl will be my future wife, but we didn’t have 
anything in common. I’m sixteen and I don’t want to get married to anyone at the moment. I want to 
wait until the time is right and choose my future partner myself. It’s difficult because I respect my 
parents and I don’t want to upset them.’ 
Harry, aged 16
‘All relationships require commitment.’
T used to think that “love” marriages were better than arranged marriages, but I’ve changed my mind 
recently. I’ve met people who are happy in arranged marriages. Maybe they weren’t in love when they 
got married, but with time they’ve learned to love and respect their partners. On the other hand, some 
people who are in “love” marriages split up. They’ve been with their partners for years, but they fall 
out and their marriages end in failure. I think a relationship needs commitment. Love isn’t enough on 
its own. The couple must be understanding and patient and build up their relationship over time. People 
can’t just fall in love, get married and hope that everything will perfect forever. That only happens in 
films.’
Samina, aged 17

V. Read Phong’s story and the counsellor’s answer and do the tasks that follow.
Phong: In my school, everyone has a few different groups of friends, such as in our own class. I used to 
be rather popular in my class, if being popular meant that most of the girls in my class were my friends 
and generally liked me. Then I fell out of this friendship with my “best friend” because there were stuff 
about each other we didn’t like, I guess, and we just stopped hanging out together. After this, I started 
hanging out with this other clique in class I was quite close with. However, this clique was not really 
popular in our class. The clique was more on the "losers” side, although individually I guess most people 
were okay with them. As time went by, I found myself feeling more and more embarrassed to be in the Mary is walking to her maths lesson. She has got a test, but she feels all right. Suddenly, Dan, the coolest 
boy in the class, speaks to her, “Come on!” he says. “Forget maths. Let’s go into town!” Now Mary feels 
bad. She has to make a difficult decision. Should she go to maths because that is the right thing to do, 
or should she take the chance to be friends with the most popular person in the class?
If you have had an experience like this, don’t worry. It is called peer pressure and it happens to 
everybody. However, people have different reactions. Confident people refuse to do things they
don’t want to do, but shy and anxious people often give in. It may be because they want to be liked. It 
may be because they worry that their friends will make fun of them, or perhaps they are just curious
about trying something new. Whatever the reason, some people end up doing things they really don’t 
want to do.
It is hard being the only one who says ‘no’, and the question is - how do you do it? Firstly, you must 
decide what you believe in. If you think that missing maths, or smoking, or going somewhere you know 
your parents wouldn’t like is a bad idea then the answer is simple. Don’t do it. It is your decision, not 
anybody else’s. You don’t need to shout and scream, but you must be confident and you must be firm. 
You need to say, “No, thanks. I don’t want to do that.”
Of course, being on your own against everybody else is very hard, so it can really help to have at least 
one other peer, or friend, who will say ‘no’ too. Choose your friends carefully. You want friends to 
support you when you are in trouble. You don’t want people who will always agree with the majority. 
Remember, the most popular people aren’t always the most trustworthy.
However, peer pressure is not completely negative. You can learn a lot from people of your own age. 
They can teach you great football skills or the best way to do your maths homework. And don’t forget 
you can tell them things too and that always feels great. So, find friends who have similar interests. And 
remember, friendship isn’t about feeling depressed. It is about sharing experiences and having fun.
Task 1. Decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F).
1. Peer pressure means feeling you have to do something because your friends do it. _____  ____________________________________
With no chatrooms or games sites, you’ll have to find your own entertainment. Take out the games 
boards you put away when you were given your first PC or laptop and play Monopoly or Cluedo with 
your friends and family. You’ll be surprised at how much fun it is.
 ____________________________________
Instead of emailing your friends, you’ll have to talk to them on the phone. And perhaps you can get to 
know some of the many friends you made in the chatroom and find out if they’re actually anything like 
they said they were in their profiles.
 ____________________________________
As an alternative to picking up the phone, you could visit your friends in their own houses. Instead of 
chatting to them every night from your room. That way you could find things to do together and maybe 
even meet an interesting older brother or sister. You will also be burning off calories, which will help 
keep you fit and healthy.
 ____________________________________
The art of letter-writing died with the advent of the Internet and with it, the joy of receiving letters from 
others. Write some letters to your friends in foreign regions, and experience the pleasure of getting a 
letter back.
 ____________________________________
Discover where your local library is and remind yourself what research was like before the age of the 
online research. Remember, many others will be doing the same as you, so it will be an ideal meeting 
place for people of your age.
