These two causes may also lad to the rise of the problem. To begin with, I totally agree that lack of education may lead to alcohol abuse. In Mindy Sink’s article, she mentions that kids are away from home for the first time and not taught to drink responsibly.

Although many people are against that, others have felt it was right even necessary. Yes teens make mistakes and do unnecessary things, but treating them as adult’s isn’t the right thing to do. Juveniles shouldn’t be punished as adults, because they’re still maturing and still have the mind of a child. Teenagers often don’t have the mind of an adult, so why try them as one? In Adam Liptak’s article “ Locked Away Forever” published in The New York Times he tells us of the case of Joe Sullivan, who was charged with sexually
Many of us also think that sleep is a passive, constant and unchanging process. Yet, what we don’t realize that sleep is in fact a very active state. Our bodies move frequently during the night, but what’s even more striking is that our brain activity is more varied than it is when we are awake.

In this book, Carlson tells of her trials and tribulations raising her bipolar son Ben, and there are many incredible challenges. At age 14, just when Ben is perceived as “stable” on his lithium, and his Prozac, he kills himself. Carlson details her viewpoint on suicide prevention; and it is insightful.

Do Curfews keep teens out of trouble I believe that curfews can keep teens out of trouble but it can also encage them from the nightlife. But then isn’t it good to keep our kids out of the nightlife?

I am a teenager in high school a senior and no I didn’t have a lot of experience of the night life that most parents are afraid of their kids falling into, and so far I am a pretty good kid who doesn’t get into trouble I don’t do drugs or have unprotected sex or have sex in that matter. But what is so bad about the nightlife that every good parent is afraid of letting his or her kids experience?
Schools and parents do not emphasize enough that the abuse of prescription drugs produces the same destructive and dangerous effects as those that are illegal.
