National Youth Summit to Prevent Underage Drinking

One of the most serious problems we face in our country today is the one of underage drinking. As our children grow, they take upon themselves to know what is best for them, and disregard both the common sense and the laws that regulate drinking, as well as drinking and driving. Today’s FamSite looks at a site that features an upcoming event that all parents and their children should plan on participating in.

The site, sponsored by the Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), is called the National Youth Summit to Prevent Underage Drinking. At this site you can become acquainted with the upcoming web event that runs from September 29th to October 4th. There are 435 high school students who will be interacting with policymakers, elected officials and others to discuss issues surrounding teenage alcohol abuse (which kills six times as many young people as all illicit drugs combined). Here is the place to get the background information on what will occur at this event, but a good solid background on the problem itself.

This site is a tremendous use of the power of the Internet. Enjoy your visit here today, and please remember to share this site with someone. It might make a difference in their lives.
