Gabby, after an eye-opening experience with her father, discovered she hated herself and because of that she had become anorexic. This story takes a micro-level orientation tact of the Symbolic-Interaction Paradigm because it shows that the cause of the young Gabby's anorexia was her need to please the crowd because of her interaction with the society within her school. John J. Macionis' book entitled "Sociology" (the sixth edition) states that society is constructed "Through the human process of finding meaning in our surroundings, we define our identities, rights, and obligations toward others."

Adolescents are conscious that they cannot just go swimming or participate in something as innocent as a sport where one team is skins and one is shirts, for the fear they will be on the skins team Crohn’s: Patient Education Plan 4 (Mackner, Sisson, & Crandell, 2005).

One of the biggest and oldest organization that has been against drunk driving is MADD- which stand for mothers against drunk driving.
This means that “responsible, educated” 18-20 year olds are binge drinking, which is bad enough, but add into the mix our inexperienced 16 year olds who are highly influenced by peers and often make bad decisions and it is a recipe for disaster. Many high school and even middle school students are also binge drinking and partying, and underage DUI’s are at an all-time high in our country. However, it stands to reason that if you were to send a 16 year old out of state or even just a few hours away it would be much easier for them to drink without their parents finding out. Sending a teen off to college is a symbol of passage into adulthood. You cannot expect to send a 16 year old to college and still have full control over their curfew and monitor their social life.

There should be a mandatory class that children take in school about the effects of alcohol and other addicting substances. As children move from adolescents to young adulthood they encounter dramatic physical, emotional, and lifestyle changes.The younger that children and adolescents are when they start to drink alcohol are more likely to engage in behaviors that can harm themselves and others.
Drug Abuse today affects many people in many places; it tears apart families, countries and even leading to war. It is a major problem within our society, affecting even the most innocent of people. Marijuana alone creates economic and moral issues within the United States. Just one example: over 100 million people above the age of 12 admitted to using marijuana alone at least once in their life that was 40.01 percent of the surveyed people. If such a large percentage of people have used illegal drugs it causes the need for two questions: How many of these people go to prison per year?

“More than 1,700 college students in the U.S. are killed each year—about 4.65 a day—as a result of alcohol-related injuries” (The Marin Institute).
