Alcohol Abuse
The adverse effects that alcohol has on a teenager can not only be dangerous for ones health but it could also result in a tragedy such as death. Whether it be a student in high school, college or a regular teenager, peer pressure plays a dramatic role with the outcome of his/her life: I can speak from personal experience.My sophomore year of high school I started drinking alcohol and attending the regular parties, which occurred, on occassions. When people start getting involved with the "in crowd" anything and everything can happen: It could determine the outcome of a person's life. High school is supposed to be the best times of a teenagers life and they want to live those incredible four years of their lives so they can remember those memories until they are eighty years old. Throughout my high school times I drank alcohol on every day of every weekend and did it with all of my best friends. That's all everyone did and there was not a possibility that myself or any of my friends could not always be around it because it was always there. None would even think of the long-term affects it would have on our lives because we were having the time of our lives and none could take that away from us.
People our age are socializing and drinking and not acknowledging the outcomes of this drug. He left many friends and loved ones in agony over his death. My friends and I were known for the party: If there was a party we were there. Now I was forced to move back home and work to pay off all of my fines for one night of partying. Believe me, there is a lot more people and a lot more things to do than study in this unfamiliar place. I didn't study in high school so I automatically had the preconceived notion that I wouldn't have to in College. My advise to teenage drinkers get focused on life and have the motivation to stop drinking because they're heading down a one way street the wrong way. I cared about going out to clubs and getting inebriated until I would pass out or vomit. If there were a time in my life that I could go back and change it would be that night. But now people still do the same thing he did even knowing what happened to him. I know that a friend of mine would say the same thing if he were still alive. I have ambitions in my life that I want to accomplish and I don't want them to be destroyed because of alcohol.
