Teen Drinking
Many teenagers begin drinking out of curiosity or peer pressure. Not only is alcohol the main reason for deaths in teenager and young adults, but it extremely harmful for a developing brain. Alcohol doesn’t allow you to be in control and it increases the risk for other crimes. When teenagers and young adults drink alcohol on regular bases it diminishes their ability to fight infections and it damages the liver. When you start drinking alcohol at a young age it is easier for it to become an addiction. When parents are involved the risk of alcohol addiction goes down. What starts out as a simple curiosity can easily turn in to an addiction.
