When I list the characteristics of my class, I begin to realize that my class is no different than any previous class. Disappointingly, the habits of my classmates do not create an image of the millennium generation that one would be proud to acknowledge. The issue to which I refer is teen-age drinking. Yet, I realize that my solution is not as feasible as I hope. Drinking is a problem that will haunt generations of students in the next millennium.
Every teenager enjoys parties, dances and hanging out with friends.
Unfortunately, alcohol is present at most teen-age events. I have witnessed students drinking alcohol, not considering the consequences. My moral standards have protected me from the temptations and peer pressures of alcohol. But many of my friends drink. When I was a freshman, I noted that students attempted to hide their alcohol in containers other than the original can or bottle.
