The topic of drug use and abuse is a loaded one, especially for teens who receive hundreds of mixed messages. This book delivers the facts through a sequence of pro versus con essays that expose the issues. Across four chapters, readers will analyze whether teen drug abuse is a serious problem, what factors actually cause drug abuse, whether the media promote abuse, and whether it can be prevented. Fantastic essay sources include the Office of National Drug Control Policy, National Institute on Drug Abuse, Citizens Commission on Human Rights, Dartmouth Medical School, and the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth.
