It really depends on who you know...if I didn't have older friends then I would have found it hard but he was willing to do it

5. Do your parents allow you to drink? no

6. Why do you think more and more kids under 18 are drinking large amounts of alcohol? It's become a common social occasion, people think that the night is boring if you don't get smashed, suicide and drug abuse is alot higher

7. Do you binge drink? I don't drink other then a few times before, but on those occasions yes I was binge drinking

8. Why do you think females binge more than males? They try and drink the same amount so end up drinking more and get drunk ... other then that i have no idea

11. In your opinion do you think more and more youths are taking drugs because it seems like the coool thing to do?
elaborate..

yes and no. It depends on who your groups of friends are. My group of friends don't think its cool but others have no problem with it. I dont think the coolness of it is a huge reason ... I dont think the drugs attitude have changed other then increased awareness. In my opinion, its that youths need a release and escape from it all, especially concerning mental illnesses.

Depending on what group of people they are friends with determines this. If the majority of your friends are doing it then you might consider it "cool" and go along with it.
