As a high school student, I am offended by the stereotype of my generation as druggies and alcoholics. I realize that the use of alcohol has increased recently compared with drugs, but not all of us are following the path of your view of today's teenagers. Even my parents have commented that our generation is much more responsible with drinking and driving than their own. We can help resolve this issue by better education in schools across Ontario. The more knowledge we have, the more it will make us think before we act. Suhaila Agnew, Oakville - --- MAP posted-by: Keith Brilhart
