"if you have any respect for your self,your family and the others who love and care for you then STOP,because you are involved in something which,if caught,can ruin your whole life and put you to disgrace.it is not worth it.please drop it."this is what i would say.
Reply:to tell someone that they trust and work with that person to get better! It will be hard but worth the hard work!
Reply:I'm a teen. I know the pressures. I'm at parties with alchohol a lot.

If you're social and fun, you don't need a drink to have fun trust me. First of all, it tastes bad. Second of all, if its hard liquor, it burns ur throat. plus, it can make u do a lot of things that u'll regret
Reply:It doesn't really matter if its illegal or not. If I wanted to do something that was illegal, consider it done. Being Illegal/legal won't stop anybody from doing it.



It just depends on the teenager, I used to drink at parties and on weekends alot when I was 14-17. I had a high alcohol tolerance, I was never addicted to it, but I knew some people that were. It is really up to them to stop, no one else can really change the choices they make.
Reply:sit them down and make them watch videos, with their parents, about accidents family went through because of teenage drinking and driving. it's sad and disgusting to see the way cars come out, and not even being able to find the body.... it's something that once you see, you know you don't want to be there.
Reply:take them to visit a detox unit dealing with alcohol abuse or have a look at the streets at the alcoholics who have lost everything.
