and supervision was significantly different for both groups.

C) Source 3:

This article said that the rise in drug use among teens was driven by a

dramatic rise in the use of marijuana and more use of stimulants, LSD and

inhalants. It also describes how this trend was a reversal from the recent

downward patterns of drug use among teens.

D) Source 4:

It was found that most cases of alcohol and drug abuse in adolescents

was attributed to conduct disorder behavior. It was also found that cases

involving this disorder and drug abuse led to a more frequent relapse into the

problem and an increase in anti-social behavior.

E) Source 5:

This study found that the Family Therapy Systems model of treatment

appeared to be more effective in treating and stopping adolescent drug abuse.

It registered twice as many drug-free clients as the Family Drug Education

program and three times as many as the Adolescent Group Therapy model.

V.) Summary and Conclusion:

Through the literature and the class it is obvious that drug and alcohol

abuse among adolescents is a prevalent and dangerous problem. The use of these

substances is dangerous and stupid. I’m not going to be a hypocrite and say

that I have never tried any drugs or alcohol. I’d be lying if I said that I

haven’t but now I realize that it is a problem that has to be addressed through

action and not ignorance.
