On this episode of True Life, meet three young people who are considering making huge personal sacrifices or taking great risks - only because they're desperate to fit in with their peers.

Alex is an aspiring musician whose alcohol and drug abuse forced him to quit his band a year ago. He's sober now and has decided to rejoin the group, even though his bandmates want him to start using again. Can Alex resist them and stay clean? Or will he succumb to their partying ways and hit rock bottom for good?

Nikki is a Hooters waitress in Miami who faces constant pressure from her friends to get breast implants. Nikki's boyfriend wants her to save money so they can get a new apartment together. Can Nikki make the right decision for her future, and avoid alienating the friends she loves most?

AJ is a high school senior who's always stood out as the fat kid in a clique of jocks. Now, AJ's best friend is urging him to lose weight because he thinks AJ's hurting the group's chances with girls. Will this motivate AJ to diet and exercise or will he find himself on the outs with his group?
