Teenagers, Drugs and Alcohol

Teenagers, Drugs and Alcohol aren't a great mix I have done some research towards this and I found a website "http://www.dosomething.org/tipsandtools" This website had some startling results they asked some teenagers about drugs at school. They said that more than 60 percent of teens said that drugs were sold, used, or kept at their school. An interesting fact is that young people who drink alcohol are 50 times more likely to use cocaine than teens who never drink. A result that I have also found that I found appalling is that around 28 percent of teens know a friend or classmate who has used ecstasy, with 17 percent knowing more than one user. By the 8th grade, 29.5 percent of adolescents have consumed alcohol, 15.5 percent have smoked cigarettes, and 15 percent have used marijuana.
