In Savior by Mollie Shanahan, was about a couple that hasn’t seen each other for 15 years. Hayden and Lily were in love when they were 15 years old. They had to split up because Hayden was off to LA perusing his dream. They met, again in traffic. Lily didn’t even recognize Hayden.  They met up and went on tour together. But, Hayden had a girlfriend at that time. Lily felt weird to go with him on the tour instead of Carline, Hayden’s girlfriend.  On the trip Lily had a lot of peer pressure. The only thing that made her stay on the tour bus was Hayden.
On the whole tour, Lily felt guilt, every single day. She was getting these letters from an anonymous person. They said really mean thing like “he’s not going to take you back after what you did to him.” It like a taunt. If I got those mean letter from an anonymous person than I would be pretty freaked out. I would feel like if I didn’t do what the letter told me to do, they would know. Peer pressure is huge in a lot of teens. Most of people don’t tell anyone about it, and that’s a problem. Peer pressure could end someone’s life.  
Since the first day when Hayden left for LA, they promised each other that they would write letters to one another. They wrote letters for about a month and then both of them didn’t get a letter back. They thought that they forgot about each other. I think that would be very depressing. You agree and PROMISED that you would write.  If that happened to me I think I wouldn’t really want to see that person ever again. That’s was what lily thought too.
Every day and every second someone gets excluded or peer pressured to do something. With a help from parents, neighbors, teacher and guardians we can solve this problem.
