Parents ignorant about kids' immoral practices

nd heroin, and violence among teenagers was revealed by this study. 1 in 4 teenagers will encounter someone who was a victim of gun violence, by the age of 17.

Approximately 2/3rds of the high-risk group teenagers said they could buy marijuana in an hour or less. 93% had a friend who uses it, 58% get drunk at least once a month and 71% of them have a friend who uses cocaine, LSD or heroin.

According to the survey, the most vulnerable period for teenagers is the transition phase at 13 and 14 years old as they enter high school and attain the freedom that comes with it.

14 year olds were 3 times at higher risks to be offered the drug ecstasy and twice as likely to be offered cocaine, than the 13-year-old teenagers.

Family constitution also influenced substance-abuse risk. Eating regularly with family and attending church made teenagers less susceptible to the risk. teenagers who slept more than eight hours a day were also at less risk.

QEV Analytics started with a random national sample of 582 parents and 1,297 teenagers, defined for this study as kids 12 to 17.They conducted the survey for CASA. Some demographic groups were oversampled to ensure a balanced representation of African Americans and Hispanics.

Califano said “White, black and Hispanic teens experiment with drugs to the same degree and poor kids are more likely to get hooked and less likely to get serious treatment"
