Social Issue Paragraph


Teen Drinking
Dramarama by E. Lockhart
Teen drinking is a serious issue that most kids our age think to try, but they shouldn’t because it is bad for our heath and lives.  My search terms were:
·         “Underage drinking is linked to injury and risky behavior”
·         “Brain Developing and Alcohol Abuse”
·         “Drinking and Driving”
·         “Suicide”
·         “Behavior”
·         “Other Risks”
·         “Academic Performance”
In this article about teen drinking I learned that about 5,000 kids under 21 die every year because of underage drinking.  Also that exposure to drinking at a young age can increase the likelihood of alcohol addiction and that alcohol use interacts with conditions like stress contributes to 300 teen suicides a year.  I think that teens should not drink because it will eventually control your life and you won’t be able to do anything with your life.  Information: http://www.dontserveteens.gov/dangers.html
