This is the reason they get intoxicated. There are also many methods of prevention such as, sobriety check points or safety checks, incentives for designated drivers, stiffening the penalties for being caught driving under the influence, ect. I also mentioned some ideas that I had felt would help with the problem. I felt that starting driver education at a very young age was important. I also felt that adolscents need some form of motivation from their parents.
Good communication is important in the relationship with parents and adolescents.
The media also plays a huge role in influencing adolescents and how they preceive alcohol and driving. Everyone needs to take the responsiblity and take action to change this conception of how alcohol is accepted society. I do know that is something that needs to be researched more and dealt with in more detail. Working on this paper has been a eye opening experience for me. I came to the revelation of how I behaved as an adolscent and how my attitude and actions have changed tremendously.
