_____________________________
| Each Graduation and Prom Season, there are parents who give their teens permission to have a party, where parents, themselves, supply beer or other alcohol to the teen and their friends…. The parents often say, “I take away the keys so they can’t get into trouble”…. (or)… “I’d rather have them drink at our home than at a friend’s house where they will drive after….” |
The TRUTH:
| DWI is only one of a long list of alcohol-related problems that youth experience. In fact, of the three major causes of death for teenagers – homicide, suicide and accident fatalities (of all types), alcohol is a primary causative factor of death for each category. Parental approval of drinking is one of the most influential reasons why teens do drink. In truth, if you let them drink at home – you have just given them permission to drink elsewhere! |
