MOST THINK DRUGS AND ALCOHOL CAUSE PROBLEMS IN SCHOOL

I asked some students at my school, do you think drug use is a big issue in 
high school? What about alcohol?

Thomas Percer: Yes, drug use and alcohol is a big issue in all high 
schools. Some schools have a larger problem than others.

Chinadu Nnoram: Yes, a big issue!

Stephen Polunski: Yes, I hear many stories of drug usage at school, but it 
doesn't affect me because I do not want to do them.

Joe Webb: Drugs are not cool. They are definitely a problem in high school. 
Alcohol is also an issue at parties and get-togethers. It's something many 
people and parents need to think about.

Anonymous: I believe that drug and alcohol usage are a problem for those 
who make it a problem. High school is neither the first, nor the last place 
that people will encounter such usage in their lives. It is merely the 
possible turning point for one's life. Whether or not it will be is up to 
that person.
