問題詳情：

    Millions of American high school seniors drink alcohol(酒精)at least once a week. Alcohol is the most common "drug" and has special risks for this age group. Studies show that about 50% of children with alcoholic parents will become alcoholics themselves.     Teenagers drink for many reasons. Some grow up seeing their parents or other adults drinking. They also see movies, television or magazine ads where a sports star enjoys some type of alcohol. There is often pressure from friends or classmates to drink. A teenager may drink to fit in with friends, or to appear more popular or confident. A teenager having worries, depression, or confusion, may use alcohol to deal with these feelings. Other situations that might cause a teenager to develop a drinking problem are:

●the divorce (離婚)of his or her parents;

●other family members with drinking problems;

●the death of  his or her family members or other close people.     There are some WARNING SIGNS for adults to pay attention to. The following signs may be visible if a teenager has a serious drinking problem:

●keeping away from family or friends;

●not going to school, or falling grades;

●losing interest in activities or hobbies;

●getting into fights or often  arguing with parents.     It may be hard to accept the fact that your child is out of control with alcohol. Sometimes it helps if you share your concerns with your colleagues, the school counselor(顧問), or your healthcare provider. Other helpers can be found at hospitals, mental health centers, or alcoholism treatment centers.      Alcoholics Anonymous works with teens who want to stop drinking. To learn more about teenage drinking, call your local Alcoholics Anonymous Chapter or the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence at (800) NCA-CALL.
