A current even that I researched for my topic Teen Alcohol use was a survey that they had in CBS News. They had a survey was called survey revels shocking levels on teen drinking and drug abuse. The article was based on 10,123 teenagers between the ages of 13-18. Both genders male and females did this survey. The researchers that they had would ask the teens about the drinking habit that they had. After they did the survey on the teens, they got the results of the survey and an outstanding 78 percent of teens had drinking alcohol. Also they tell you in the article, what are the key facts of why teens are drinking that much alcohol at that young age. They found out that the age that most teenagers stated to drink alcohol was at the young age of 14. They also say that there were no main gender difference in alcohol use for both male and female in drug and alcohol use, but that males had a much higher rate for drug and alcohol use. In the end of the article is just explains to you what might be some reasons of why teenagers are starting to drink at a young age. Lastly, the article tells you that out of the 20 million alcoholics in America, more than half of them began drinking when they were teens.

Stigma

A stigma that exists in our society is racism. How it exists is because people are always thinking badly about people from different culture. People just think anything that they want without them even knowing you and what you do with your life if you are trying to better yourself they do not know none of that. All they know how to say is that you are some sort of gang member, that you are selling drugs or that you are robbing and killing people. Why people say that is because of the skin color that you are or the race type that you are. How they act because of that is that they act scared like if you are going to do something to them or they try to talk under their breath so you would not notice anything that they are saying. In the other hand, it also can make a person look good because of their races, people think because your race is good so you must be a good person and not make any mistakes. People do not know the things that you do all they could say is what on their head the first time that they see you. What people should do to fix this is that they should get to know the person that they are talking about before they say anything at all.
