Alcohol is the most frequently used and abused drug among youth. The average age at which young people begin to drink is 13 years old. 25% of teens even reported that their parents supplied them with alcohol.

According to research, as many as 1 in 5 teens reported that they have taken a prescription drug without having a prescription for it. The vast majority of teens abusing prescription drugs are getting them from the medicine cabinets of friends, family, and acquaintances. Parents are also not communicating the risks of prescription drug misuse and abuse as often as they talk about illegal drugs.
