HEALTHY NORMAL BRAIN
HEAVY TEEN ALCOHOL USER
Brain Development during youth through adolescence, has been chronicled by the UCLA Brain Development Study. Orange and yellow color indicates the developing areas of the young brain and illustrates the timeframe at which these events occur. Previous studies for decades believed most brain development took place during the first three years of life, however this landmark study showed an incredible era of brain development from hormonal onset (adolescence) into the early twenties. The brain areas associated with these final regions are associated with reasoning, moral reasoning and decision making. Likewise athletic abilities are being perfected during the same time with skill perfection, skill innovation and maximal performance capacities reaching optimal levels. Surely drug use during this pivotal timeframe takes a heavy toll on these and many other capacities reaching their full potential. The unfortunate outcome to youth drug use is that if these critical events are affected during this chronological developmental phase damage , deficits, or reduced capacities may be lifelong. Train hard …Play hard… Party hard…waste your talents.

RISK PEAKS EARLY
ACCIDENTS
In 2005, 4,544 teens ages 16 to 19 -- an average of twelve a day--died in motor vehicle crashes.Overall, younger drivers lack experience on the roads and are less likely than older drivers to recognize risky situations. While lack ofexperience increases teens' crash risk, so does driving with teen passengers while unsupervised. As the number of teen passengers goes up, so does the risk of a crash.
In 2005, more than one in four young drivers killed in motor vehicle crashes had been drinking. The severity of crashes increases when alcohol is involved. Drinking drivers are also less likely to wear seat belts.

•40% of children who start drinking before the age of 15 will become alcoholics at some point in their lives. If the onset of drinking is delayed by 5 years, a child's risk of serious alcohol problems is decreased by 50%.
The average age when youth first try alcohol is 11.9 years for
boys and 13.1 years for girls. The average age at which Americans begin drinking regularly is 15.9 years old.

There are four areas that can impact youth in areas of RISK…
Correlation Between Risk Factors & Alcohol Use
There is more of a chance you will drink because you
are hanging out with people who are drinking than if you are physically
offered a beer.
The strongest predictors of alcohol and drug abuse among high school or college youth are social. Among high school and college youth, for example, the social group dominates as the
best predictor of substance use…
Young people use drugs primarily as a function of the social group with whom they interact.

STANDARDS FOR YOUTH BEHAVIOR
• CLEAR CONSISTENT BOUNDARIES• HIGH LEVEL OF CONSEQUENCE BELEIFS • HOME SCHOOL COMMUNITY ATHLETICS
• LAW ENFORCEMENT
Standards for Youth BehaviorSet by ADULTS
Enforced UniversallyProcess to identify
Process to help
“A child who reaches age 21 without
smoking, abusing alcohol or using drugs
is virtually certain never to do so”
“A society whose adults do not abuse tobacco,
alcohol or drugs, is virtually certain not to raise children who do
so.”
" Set the example for your children”The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,
I WILL CARE FOR THESE CHILDREN AT ALL TIMES ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM WITH THEM I WILL AS AN ADULT SET A POSITIVE EXAMPLE FOR OUR YOUTH BY THE WAY I LIVE MY LIFE
I WILL, AS AN ADULT, ACCEPT RESPONSIBILTIY FOR OUR YOUTHI WILL FULFILL MY RESPONSIBILITY TO OUR YOUTH EVEN WHEN OTHERS FAIL
I WILL HELP IDENTIFY OUR YOUTH WITH PERSONAL AND SOCIAL ISSUESI WILL GET THEM PROFESIONAL HELP
I WILL DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO PROTECT OUR YOUTH FROM RISK AND HARMI WILL NOT LET ONE CRAIG YOUTH FALL TO THE PERILS OF NEGLECT
I WILL ALWAYS ACT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF OUR CHILDRENI WILL SUPPORT THE LAWS THAT SEEK TO KEEP OUR YOUTH FROM HARM AND RISK
I will support a community consensus that clearly states that drug and underage DRUG/alcohol use is illegal, unhealthy and unacceptable and the zero -tolerance measures
that must be employed to deter such youth behaviors of concern.
