    Website: Notes: Well every drug that is abused by adults is also abused

    http://www.medicinenet.com/teen_d by adolescents. Other than alcohol, common drug abuse


    rug_abuse/article.htm include the following: Tobacco (all kinds of tobacco) others
    for example marijuana, mostly called "pot, weed, Mary Jane”

    use.html
    The fact of underage drinking costs the U.S about $58 billion
    each year. About 40 percent of who started drinking at age 13
    http://www.leaderu.com/orgs/probe/
    or less depended on alcohol later in life. Ten percent of
    docs/teendrug.html teenagers who started drinking after the age of 17 depended on
    it.
    http://www.health.com/health/librar
    y/topic/0,,tp17749_uq2408,00.html The statistics are radical. The average age of kid’s first alcohol
    use is 12 and the average age of first drug use is 13. According
    to the NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse), about 93% of
    all teens have experience with alcohol by the end of their
    senior year and 6% drink every day.

    About 8 percent of teenagers smoke cigarettes frequently


    (about 20 days a month). The use of tobacco has serious long-
    term health problems and is highly addictive. A teen that uses
    tobacco for a year or more has more than an 80 percent chance
    of becoming addicted.

    Summary: My summary about my notes is that well lots of children abuse on drugs. The parents
    should spend more time with the parents and keep them away from the drugs. The children use the
    drugs because they are stressed out or because they are living in a violent home. So I think the parents
    have a big part on this.
