As a teenager, I agree there is no way to stop the teen drinking or teenagers getting in trouble unless they have something to do. The teenagers get yelled at for walking around town even if they are not doing anything wrong. I also heard the teenagers were told to leave the basketball courts at the middle school by the police even though they weren't doing anything wrong and the lights were still on at the courts. And also bringing up past tragaties won't help anything. The teenagers care about it but that doesn't make them want to stop and the parents are clearly having a hard time getting through to their children because everyone learns when they become a teenager not to smoke or drink. If there was a place for teenagers to go every once and a while and have fun there wouldn't be as many of these incidents. I personally think there would be more kids having fun and somewhere to go if there was. Plus parents would know where their children are at all times. If we got something for teenagers to do that they would actually enjoy it might help this issue.
