Marly and Stef are sixteen-year-old high school students. Marly is upset with Stef because Stef is talking about going to a party where alcohol will be served.

Marly can best support Stef by talking with her calmly and explaining her concerns about the risks of underage drinking. This gives Stef a chance to think about the dangers and make a safer choice.
