In a
survey of teen drinkers, 65% said they got alcohol from family
members or friends.
Most
teens report that alcohol is easy to get – including 62 percent
of eighth graders, 83 percent of sophomores, and 92 percent of
seniors.
Marijuana
smoke contains 50-70% more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco
smoke.
Talking
about difficult subjects like drinking, smoking, and drugs is
not a five-minute talk. It’s about building an ongoing dialogue
and taking advantage of teachable moments.
Students
whose parents clearly expect their children to abstain are 400%
more likely to abstain than other students.
If parents
talk to children early and often about the dangers of drugs, tobacco,
and alcohol before they are faced with difficult choices, they’ll
be more likely to avoid rather than use.
