I have learn that there is a lot of pressure in high and from friends that its the thing to do. The next time if I was to research this topic I would go deeper and learn more about it. I learned that more people then I thought drink and do drugs in the 9th grade.

I think that they should do further research on why it's a big issue/ deal in high school to drink and go to parties. They should use a bigger group of people then just 99 people. They should survey two school's compare difference in the school 's out come.

Think that schools should show teens what's happened when you take drinking and doing drugs to far and go down the wrong path. Parent's should talk to their kids about their teen years and how they started to drink.

The results show that alcohol is an easy access for teens, so easy that they could go get it whenever they want. It shows that teens feel the need or the pressure the drink, because when teens drink they feel like they are grown up.

When 99 students have taken this survey they were asked "How often do you drink alcohol?" The results were Never 49%, Very often 3%, Often 5% Sometimes 28%, Almost never 15%. 36 were male and 63 were female. 35 were black 49, 49 were white,2 were Asian, 1 Latino, 7 mixed .

In"Drugs Take Toll on Good and Bad kids Alike" it talks about how drugs and alcohol affect good and bad teens.It says that it doesn't matter if your "good" or "bad" doing drugs and alcohol "before 15 ended up being 3.6 times more likely to be dependent on substances at age 32."

Why do teens feel like they need to experiment with drugs and drinking?

Have you noticed that teens come to high school excited about the parties with drinking, drugs and sex. I'm writing a blog about how its become an increase in those topics at a younger age. Teens are know for experimenting in high school, but did you know that theories say that your teens years are the worst time to experiment, because teens brains are very impulsive and addictive behaviors.I want to learn more about teens with drugs, drinking, and sex because I'm a teen and i want to know why we as teens in America why are we tempted so much.
