Answer 2

Answer:

Ask an older sibling to step in and help weigh the pros and cons.

Explanation:

It is normal for teenagers like Alonso to be influenced by peers, especially when they urge the teen to "kill" class to do something fun, as can be seen in the question above, where Alonso is being pressured to leave school to go to Mexico.

This can be fun, but it can have terrible consequences, for this reason, Alonso should ask for advice from someone who is older, more experienced and whom he trusts, like his brother for example. An older person will be able to assess the situation better and will be able to explain all the pros and cons of that situation.
