I think that the results have alot to do with how and where they were raised, and what they were exposed to.
and i agree with myself..lol

I think that far from the fact of been separated by race and ethnicity many of this people were raised up in deviant environments were they take the easiest and the most seeing habit. many of them prefered to use this method (taking illegal substances) to forget who they are and where they come from.
I agree with TIATOMPKINS because as i said before many of this young fellows were raised in very poor atmosphere.

I personally believe society is too lenient with people who use drugs. Let’s fact it drugs are all around us but it is OUR personal choice to fall into temptation. Just because people around you do drugs (or illegal substances) it does not mean that you have to do it.
I agree with TiaTompkins.
According to the result, the Office of National Drug Control policy had proved statistics of some races living in the US. When i have seen the percentage of high school students by race who used life time marijuana, it seems the numbers are close to me. And By seeing the result i have to ask myslef " how do these teens get into it or who in the world provide it to these teens" Because the statistic do not mention any specific places in the US that used mrijuana the most. Therefore I assumed these teens surely adapted this drugs from their ancestors or parents. And if i said friends. i would still have to ask myself how did that friend get it.. it must started from an adult. Overall, I am not quiet agreed with the data they provided because they would have to break it down from state by state or cities by cities.
Me, Jean David, also agree with Mellisa beacuse the issues has nothing to do with race. I truly believe no matter how hard the situation could be there is someone outthere whose able to make a difference. it seems to me as a person vs person issue.
