them feel more comfortable to talk to. “Programs such as D.A.R.E. are important. I agree, but there has to be someone children can talk and listen to.

Teens helping teens is a solution that might help solve this drug problem in America. There should also be more help towards rural and sub urban areas. The illegal drug use among adolescents in small towns and rural America is reaching alarming proportions. According to a private study that urged the government to spend a lot of money fighting drugs in non-metropolitan areas as it does in foreign battlegrounds in Columbia. “Eighth graders are 34% likelier to smoke marijuana than eighth graders in urban areas. Regardless of the way towns are classified, teens are thinking it’s no big deal to use drugs. Rural and small town areas need to begin shaping up (marijuana.com).” This is sliding by as no big deal, which is part of today’s ignorance. There should also be more law enforcement. It’s no crime to have random drug tests at schools or at the work place. Officers can create their own special unit for drugs and drug testing. That would cost a fortune, but isn’t the future of our country worth that much? More laws can be created to help solve the drug problem. Many ideas for laws have come up, but sometimes many these proposed laws won’t be passed according to Congress. “I believe that there are solutions to every problem. Marijuana abuse by teens seems to have many answers. Answers are not always correct. If we stick to a few solutions at once instead of all together and then giving up, we just might see some positive outcomes (interview).” Bibliography
