This week we discuss what was arguably the most prevalent topic among youth of the 1980s and 90s - Peer Pressure. Behind the political rhetoric is a web of real, live, intricate issues. When troubled kids  grow up to become troubled adults, the consequences can be grave, and it impacts everyone in society. In order to properly dissect the evolution of peer pressure and how it affects one’s journey into adulthood, we called upon 19-year-old author and illustrator Brett T. Brown. At the tender age of 10, the native Chicagoan finished Haley’s Comet, an empowering children’s book, complete with his own illustrations. Brett joins the show live via phone from his home in Cleveland, Ohio. (Links and other info mentioned in this episode are archived at sealedinink.wordpress.com/solanotes)
