An Alcohol Prevention Discussion

    * CCHS Parents, Did you know that your teen is more likely to begin
      drinking alcohol in 10^th grade than in any other year in school? 
      According to the 2004 Youth Risk Behavior Survey results -

                                        19.9% of 8th graders
                                        20% of 9th graders    
                                        38% of 10^th graders
                                       43% of 11th graders
                                        50% of 12th graders 
    reported having a drink of alcohol on at least one occasion during 
the 30 days prior to         the survey.

    * If you find that statistic alarming, please come and learn the
      strategies parents can use to help your teen postpone alcohol use
      - and why this is so important!

sequence of initiation into and progression of use, the social and 
cultural pressures students are likely to face at CCHS and in college.
