There are different programs that the U.S has to teach teens about living a healthy, drug free life. Red Ribbon Week also explains, Red Ribbon Week serves as a vehicle for communities and individuals to take a stand for the hopes and dreams of our children through a commitment to drug prevention... This program created fun ways, where you dress up in different ways to stay “drug free” and shows the children a creative way to being drug free. Although this is a creative way to stay drug free, it could appear to be immature for some of the high school kids. So if there was a more mature program stating to teens to stay drug free that could make an even larger impact.
Many programs are being held in the U.S to stop and help teens with drugs, but the epidemic still continues to rise. What will teens be doing 10 years from now? We need to stop this problem now, so the younger generations aren’t getting into things that are worse than drugs and alcohol. We need to let teens know that there are alternatives to doing drugs and drinking if they are stressed, depressed, or even just looking for a pastime. This cause is only going to get worse if we don’t do anything about it now.

Common bad habits of drugs are skipping school, skipping work, and not paying bills, are just a few common habits caused by drugs. First off skipping school will get you no where, because when you skip a lot school you will get kicked out. Once you’re kicked out you have a slim chance of getting to college. Once college is ruled out then you have a very shy chance of getting a good paying job. Second off skipping work is just going to get you fired and that will look bad on your record if you ever go to get another job. Also then you wouldn’t be able to afford rent, insurance, bills, groceries, the drug itself, and whatever has to be paid. Once that happens you would lose everything that you were paying and paying off.
