Drugs and teens... is it inevitable the two will meet?
This week's 8th graders, Ayla, Alexis, Addison, John, and Roshann talk about substance use among young people. The group of teens take on the impact and influences on illegal drug use, focusing on family life, social media, fitting in, social image, education, coping strategies, sales to underage kids, recommendations for handling peer pressure, and more!
What did the students miss? What are your thoughts on the influences on drug and other substance abuse as related to teenage life?
