Peer Pressure is Bullying

Often times, teens and young adults can be pressured into trying drugs or alcohol. This is a form of bullying. Bullying is not just being made fun of or getting pushed around on the playground. Bullying is a serious problem for youth today.

Youth Resources

There are a ton of resources available for you if you think you may have a substance abuse problem. One of the more useful and comprehensive websites is www.youth.gov.
