Alcohloism and Teens
by Ali F. and Rossi H.
Don't end up like this.
Currently in the U.S., forty-one percent of our eighth graders have consumed alcohol (and not just a sip or two). This exposure to alcohol at such a young age develops into the eighty-six point three percent of the teenaged drinking population that are already alcoholics.
Motor vehicle accidents are the number one killer of teens all over the country. Sixty percent of these accidents are alcohol related. And want to know something ridiculous? According to firsteagle.com, five hundred and twenty-two children under age fourteen were arrested for driving while intoxicated, and one hundred and thirteen of them were under ten years old! The threats of alcohol are everywhere, and even corrupting the lives of very young children.
