Drug Issues
Drug use is a very common addiction. Drugs have a huge effect on the body, mind, and spirit. This has become a major public health problem. Many kids become involved with drugs with peer pressure, poor choice of friends, unsupervised time, and family problems and history with drug use. This has taken a big toll on our young teens and kids. About 17% of American high school students are drinking, smoking or using drugs during the school day, according to the National Center of Addiction and Substance Abuse. The results revealed that 78% of U.S. teens have drank alcohol, and 47% of the group said they'd consume 12 or more drinks in the pass year. That's awfully a lot. Many kids are becoming more and more addicted and are having mental health problems.
