I come from a very liberal and strict family, so all three of those are a definite no-no while I'm in high school and college. I personally don't think alcohol, cannabis, etc. are absolutely the devil for teens, but while our minds are still developing it's really easy to become dependent/addicted or for these substances to invade our lives. I'm going to stick to a "zero-tolerance policy" for as long as I can, and even then only drink in moderation. I really think drinking and getting high should be even more discouraged than it already is.
Sex is not as "taboo" and people in high school like to explore and flaunt their assets, but premature sex is still very, very dangerous for girls and boys, who run the risk of having a baby because he didn't pull out / use a condom. I think kids can begin to regulate themselves when they turn 16/17 and should be able to decide for themselves what they want.
TL;DR I believe that teens shouldn't ever do drugs or alcohol, sex is okay after 16.
Knowing that many of you are still in high school or college as well, what are your opinions on underage drinking, drugging, and sex?

3 RepliesI've never done drugs or alcohol before and I'd only ever do them in the future if I was drunk (geeet it?? *sounds of crickets*). But yeah, once of legal age you should be allowed to drink and drug responsibly. I don't get the issue with sex though, so long as you're sex educated and are safe about it there's no reason why you shouldn't perform a natural and healthy human process, even if you're underage.
