Binge drinking teenagers

Today I will present you my suggestions about under-age drinking of alcohol.

If there are teenagers in a country who drink alcohol I would demand very hard laws. A good example for this is the USA. There you must be 21 years old to drink and buy alcohol. In Germany, however, you can be 16 and you go in a store and you are allowed to buy beer.

A thing which is also very important is that the seller has always to check the identification of the person who buys alcohol.

In our statistics you could see that the teenagers in Germany drink a lot more alcohol than the teenagers in the USA. Then they ought to clarify the things that can happen if you are intoxicated. For example they could once a week watch a video in the school where teenagers can see the consequences of drinking alcohol, e.g. they see how they are in this moment.

If you are a teenager you should have a mentor with whom you can anonymously speak about your problems. Then you don’t have to talk about those problems with your family. To talk about those with an external person is much easier than to talk with your father or your mother. This mentor should also be younger because if the teenager talks with the mentor, the teenager would then feel better because it is not like if they talked about alcohol with a person who is 20 years older than them.

Another suggestion is that the family knows what their child does. I don’t think they must control him or her but they must know who his friends are and so on. And they must love their child because the child needs this.

Those are my suggestions about teenagers that drink alcohol.

I hope I could help you with this.
