Trivia
This is an installment of the "Discussion Problems in Group Living", an educational and social awareness project by Centron Films and McGraw-Hill Book Company. Most installments were filmed in Lawrence, Kansas and at least loosely supervised by the state's flagship university, the University of Kansas.

Goofs
During the action shots of the football game, the stands are packed with spectators; not an empty seat can be seen. After the scoreboard shows the visitors winning 20-6 with 7:57 left in the 3rd quarter, the announcer states that it is 1st and 10 at the 35-yard line, and #11 carries the ball on the next play. After the play, the field level sideline stands can be seen in the background, and they are less than half-full with large sections completely empty indicating that stock footage had been been used in the earlier scenes.

Quotes
Voice-over announcer: [Final lines] In almost every group, you find him: the troublemaker, who hurts himself and the others around him. What makes a person like Mel act the way he does? Is the group ever at fault? How would you cope with someone like Mel in your group? Could you help him? What do you think?
