Even though these numbers are from England The point is still extremely valid. In D.A.R.E. we teach students to seriously think about how many students are doing these things and not merely give in to peer or media pressure. For numbers and stats in the USA, please refer to a survey called Monitoring the Future. I’m not trying to say that things are rosy, but numbers for teenage drug, alcohol, and tobacco use have been dropping for over a decade.
