Title of article: Stressed teens taking more drugs, study says

Summary: According to a news report issued Wednesday. More American teenagers are using drugs, they're turning to drugs and alcohol to handle stress. between 2008 and 2010 teens who said "they had used pot in the past year rose to 39 percent from 32 percent, and teenagers who said " they used ecstasy in the past year increased to 10 percent from 6 percent". it's findings on a survey of about that 2,500 high school students, found that 45 percent said they do not see a great risk in heavy daily drinking while 31 percent strongly disapprove of fellow teenagers getting drunk.

My oppinion: More and more day parents are too busy with their work, so they don't have much time to pay attention and listen their children. Parents allow their children to decide and to do somthing they want. the fact children aren't always have a lucid decision in their lives so that teens and teenagers were depraved such as using drugs and alcohol.
