Teens Sex Activity Tied to Drink & Drugs
Aug 20, 2004 -- The more sexually active friends a teen has and the more time a teen spends with a boyfriend or girlfriend, the greater the risk that teen will smoke, drink, get drunk or use illegal drugs, according to The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University.
An Expert Comment

"The message for parents from this year's survey is clear -- the thunder of teen sexual activity and dating behavior may signal the lightning of substance abuse," said Joseph A. Califano, Jr., head of The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse. (Califano was formerly Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare.)
Drug-Free Schools

The survey by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse contains much more of interest. For example, the survey clearly shows the importance of drug-free schools and the dysfunctionality of schools where drugs are used, kept and sold. These schools are plagued with more physical fights and cheating. We believe that all schools should be drug-free.
We heartily recommend that you read the summary of the report (below). It is good reading and relevant to all of us.

SEXUALLY ACTIVE FRIENDS AND DATING PRACTICES CAN SIGNAL INCREASE IN A TEEN'S SUBSTANCE ABUSE RISK
Girls Who Date Boys Two or More Years Older Likelier to Smoke, Drink, Get Drunk, and Use Illegal Drugs
WASHINGTON, August 19, 2004 - The more sexually active friends a teen has and the more time a teen spends with a boyfriend or girlfriend, the greater the risk that teen will smoke, drink, get drunk or use illegal drugs, according to the National Survey of American Attitudes on Substance Abuse IX: Teen Dating Practices and Sexual Activity, an annual back-to-school survey conducted by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA*) at Columbia University.
This ninth annual CASA survey found:
"The message for parents from this year's survey is clear - the thunder of teen sexual activity and dating behavior may signal the lightning of substance abuse," said Joseph A. Califano, Jr., CASA's chairman and president and former U.S. Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare.
Other striking findings in this year's survey:
"This year's survey reveals a tight connection between teen sexual behavior and substance abuse," said Califano. "This is not to say that teen sexual behavior causes substance abuse or that substance abuse causes teens to have sex, although we know that alcohol and drugs like marijuana and cocaine are sexually disinhibiting. It is to say that parents who become aware of certain dating and sexual behavior by their children should be alert to the increased likelihood of substance abuse."
For the first time in its history, the CASA teen survey examined the frequency of physical fighting and cheating at schools where drugs are used, kept or sold. At such schools, 62 percent of students report seeing physical fights on a monthly basis, and students estimate that 54 percent of the student body regularly cheats on homework and tests, compared to 42 percent and 40 percent, respectively, at drug-free schools.
"This year's survey underscores the importance of drug-free schools and the across-the-board dysfunctionality of schools where drugs are used, kept and sold," added Califano.
Forty-four percent of parents believe that teens who abuse prescription drugs get them from their parents. Yet an overwhelming 71 percent of parents do not take any special precautions to protect prescription drugs in their homes.
Only 12 percent of parents think that a teen's number one concern is drugs, while 29 percent of teens report drugs as their biggest concern.
"Parents, make sure you are aware of the dating practices of your child and get to know your child's friends," said Califano.
QEV Analytics conducted The National Survey of American Attitudes on Substance Abuse IX: Teen Dating Practices and Sexual Activity for CASA between April 16 and May 16, 2004. One thousand teens aged 12 through 17 and 500 parents were interviewed at home by telephone. All of the 500 parent interviews were conducted in a household where parents gave consent for their teen to be interviewed (even though the teen interview may not have been completed). Sampling error is +/- 3.1 percent for teens and +/- 4.4 percent for parents.
The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at Columbia University is the only national organization that brings together under one roof all the professional disciplines needed to study and combat all types of substance abuse as they affect all aspects of society. CASA's missions are to: inform Americans of the economic and social costs of substance abuse and its impact on their lives; assess what works in prevention, treatment and law enforcement; encourage every individual and institution to take responsibility to combat substance abuse and addiction; provide those on the front lines with tools they need to succeed; and remove the stigma of substance abuse and replace shame and despair with hope.
With a staff of 74 professionals, CASA has conducted demonstration projects in 89 sites in 41 cities and 21 states focused on children, families and schools, and has been testing the effectiveness of drug and alcohol treatment, monitoring 15,000 individuals in more than 200 programs and five drug courts in 26 states. CASA is the creator of the nationwide Family Day initiative-The Fourth Monday in September-that promotes parental engagement as a simple and effective way to reduce children's risk of smoking, drinking and using illegal drugs.

Teens in American high schools aren't drinking, dealing drugs or having sex nearly as much as their parents' generation.
Why it matters: Teen angst looks a lot different today than it did in the '90s — in some cases for the better. Smaller family sizes, the internet boom and a spike in youth anxiety have all played a role, according to researchers.
The big picture: We're living longer, and young people are growing up more slowly these days. They're delaying the responsible things, too: driving, jobs, dating, marriage, babies.
"Grand Theft Auto Online" will join a growing list of obsolete games on older platforms this December when Rockstar Game shuts down the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game.
Why it matters: Video game preservation is one of the biggest challenges when it comes to video games, physical or otherwise.

The record-breaking heat wave roasting the West is expanding its grip on Thursday, with the focus of the triple-digit heat shifting into California — particularly the Central Valley and desert regions.
Why it matters: Across the West, the combination of record heat, preexisting drought conditions, and dry lightning strikes from afternoon thunderstorms threatens to ignite numerous wildfires Thursday.

Activists in Albuquerque this week commemorated the 50th anniversary of one of the first modern Mexican American rebellions against police over discrimination and harassment.
Why it matters: The "Albuquerque uprising" is part of the forgotten history of protests against police mistreatment of Latinos in the 1960s and 1970s. Since the murder of George Floyd, Latino advocates have tried to draw attention to that history and the often-overlooked police violence against Hispanics today.
