Make a difference:Say no to drugs and alcohol

Recently I asked my teen friend why she started drinking and she said, “Because of the people I hang out with.”  In order to fit in, this sixteen-year-old boy began drinking alcohol despite what her parents had taught her. Did you know that alcohol is a drug? Specifically, alcohol is a depressant and it slows body function, coordination, and the ability to think and react normally.
Teens should be wary of house parties where drinks are spiked with alcohol.
