Teens Worry About Drugs More than Parents Know
This week's CESAR FAX showed another discrepancy between parents and teens when it comes to drugs. In an open-ended question, 27% (a plurality) of teens aged 12-17 said that drugs were the number one concern for people of their age. However, 58% of parents (of kids in the age range) questioned thought that social pressures were the number one concern of teens whereas only 12% thought it was drugs. The results supplement the CESAR FAX from August 7th which found that parents also underestimate their kids' drug use.
