Teen Alcohol Statistics

Something i found suprising about teen drinking was that in Sussex County in 1996, only 9 kids were arrrested for DUI. In 2006, 20 kids were arrested.

Another thing that was shocking to me was that 14% of 8th grade students in Sussex County have used alcohol last month. I think that schools should have more assemblies, and health classes should educate kids more in schools about the outcome of under age drinking. If the schools were to tell the kids more about what can happen to you if you get caught drinking, they will maybe decide no to drink anymore or ever even start.
