Teenage Drinking

Are the actions we take our own choice or are they a product of our being? That is the question I would like to answer tonight. I want to find out if we consciously think about the things we do or if we are programmed to do them. Well, let's take a look at peer pressure: kids don't drink by themselves (unless they have issues) so why do they do it in groups? Is there something about a group setting that makes teenagers more likely to drink? I say yes.
Teenagers are constantly surrounded by "Dude, this weekend was crazy," and "Did you see when...?" and, honestly it's hard to ignore. It gives the appearance of fun and glamor, and that's what we want out of life right? Hell yes we do! It's in magazines and television everywhere we look so why shouldn't we believe that's what life should be all about. We are at a very impressionable age and whether we try to deny it or not, what's "cool" is exactly what we want. So don't deny your bad self, express it! Be who you are meant to be!!!
