This semester all students in the class of English Social Studies have to write a senior project. I chose to write about the increasing drug abuse amongst teenagers in the US. I read an article where the headline said the following: "Teen Drug Abuse Triples in 10 Years in USA". My main question will probably be why the numbers of teen abusers in USA has increased so drastically the last years. I will post more updates about my senior project later, but this is what I've decided so far.

This is a sad development in th US, and it is difficult to understand how so many can chose to use drugs when we all know how dangerous it is. Will be interesting to see if you find out why so many teenagers do.
SvarSlettThis is an interesting theme! Are you going to focus on the drug abuse in the suburbs or the "ghetto"? where do you find your sources?
SvarSlettA grave topic, Camilla! This is something I find very interesting as well, and I hope you allow me to read your essay after you are finished with it :-)
SvarSlettTeen drug abuse in the US has gone sky high and I believe that one reason for teens doing drugs is because they see what their parents are doing drugs. They want to do it too and another reason is because their friends are doing so its peer pressure.They could be very depressed too.
