Teenage drug use

Teenagers these days are into various harmful drugs. Being a teenager in highschool I've realized that drugs are becoming more prevalent in the lives of highschool students. There have even been cases in our general area of kids harming themselves or someone else from the influences of drug use. Do you see drug use and alcohol drinking as a problem in our society? What can we do to minimize these bad habits of our generation so that we can get the full potential out of every young soul we have?
