Teen usage of drugs and alcohol is on the rise. An annual survey found that the number of teens in grades 9-12 reported drinking in the last month rose 11% last year, with 39% (about 6.5 million) teens reporting alcohol use. Pot had 25% of teens smoking in the last month, up from 19% before that. From 1998 until last year, drug and alcohol use had been down among teenagers. Also, Ecstasy is on the rise. Six percent of teens said they used Ecstasy in the last month, verses four percent in 2008.

My Opinion: I feel that drugs and alcohol are bad. I feel that teenagers shouldn't be using them and that it is not their civil right to use drugs or alcohol. Alcohol should be used in moderation and when the drinker is over 21.
