Friday, September 25th, 2009 |
According to global statistics, the three leading sources of teen deaths, outside natural causes, are road accidents, suicides and homicides. The common cause of these is alcohol. These can be avoided if only the parents and the teenagers themselves know all the negative consequences. It is sad to say that when most people discuss alcoholism, the focus is the adults and the teens and youths are left out. Many adolescents (aged 12 to 18) and young adults (aged 20 to 24) around the world is suffering from alcoholism when in fact the international legal drinking age is 20 years old.
