“One in two Australians 15-17 who get drunk
will do something they regret.” ²4
Talk about the immediate effects of using
drugs and drinking alcohol. Some can include poor choices, risk of
unsafe sex or sexual assault, injuries, drink driving, violence,
breaking the law, getting trouble with the police, and a possible
criminal
record. These problems can happen even for the
single occasion. Having a criminal record may have a big impact on a
teenager’s life long after the incident.
A great website which covers current laws for
each state is www.lawstuff.org.au
There are many risks and problems drugs and
alcohol can cause on teenagers whose bodies and brains are still
developing. During the teenage years drug and alcohol can
interfere with important developmental
processes and can cause problems with thinking and learning. Drugs and
alcohol can really mess with a teenagers emotions and psychological
state.
