    PEERS has not only taught me how to examine my own life but how to talk to others on the subject of diversity. ~Leslie C. (PEERs, 2009) I now have a real sense of the barriers that underrepresented groups face, As a society, we need to focus on finding ways to remove these barriers. The first step is raising awareness, and this is exactly what the PEERs program does. ~ C. K. (PEERs, 2010)

    What does that mean for people who do not fit this stereotype?
