Every parent has to know that their kid drinks because it s that simple.
Most teenagers drink, says 16 year old Brian. Maybe parents should know, but teens say parents have no idea how much kids smoke, drink, or take drugs. You can t talk to them about that because they don t understand, says Meredith. In a nationwide survey conducted by Uhlich Children s Home, teens gave parents below average grades on their efforts to stop teens from using alcohol, tobacco and drugs. The survey called the Uhlich Report Card was conducted through a self-executing mail interview in the first two months of 2000.
