Where Do They Get It From?

For teenagers to do drugs and alcohol they need to get it from some where. You can't just go to a store to get certain drugs that teenagers are taking. Teens also can't just go to a store to buy alcohol because they are all underaged. So where are teens getting drugs and alcohol from?

No teenager can just go into a store and buy alcohol because mostly all stores ID for alcohol. So where do teens get their alcohol from? Most teens get alcohol from friends or their parents.(about.com) 65% of teens get alcohol from family and friends.(centurycouncil) I know from first hand where most teens get their alcohol from. Most of the teens I know have a older brother/sister or cousin buy it for them. Alcohol is not hard to get or find at all. Mostly every house you go to has alcohol in it. I think that parents worry to much about their kids getting in to drugs, so they realy don't talk to them about alcohol.

Drug use among teenagers is expanding every year. Most teens are taking drugs such as marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine, LSD, crystal meth and heroin.(kidshealth.) The most common drug teens are using is marijuana. It is also the easiest drug to find. Teens are also taking percription pills too. They are stealing them from their parents or another family member. Most teens start taking drugs because they are in a group where other people are doing them. Teens also start taking drugs just because they are bored. Teens can find drugs any where they can just go to the corner store and ask around and they are most likly going to be able to find drugs.

I like the drug thesis youve come up with... Where and how kids get drugs is an important question to answer. Because a lot of kids are smoking that wacky tabacky! Tony F
