Challenges
Living and Social Skills – Vulnerable With Peers
Me has money to buy a hotdog. Shades and the rest of Me’s friends convince him to buy them all hotdogs. Me wants to please his friends, and in the end, loses out, as he has no money for himself. Me is easily influenced and taken advantage of.
