How can I keep my kids from drugs and alcohol?

Dangers of Teenage Drinking

Alcohol is a contributing factor in the top three causes of death among teens: accidents, homicide, and suicide. Peer pressure is a strong influence as adolescents struggle to find acceptance. Many teens state they give in to peer pressure because they have low self esteem, and to curiosity because they are bored. Alcohol is a highly addictive substance and alcoholism destroys lives. Do not let this happen to your teen. Get involved in your child's life at a young age and stay connected with them before it is too late.
