Parents Influence On Teen Drinking
Most deaths weren't caused by drinking and driving, 68% of these deaths were the following; homicides, suicides, alcohol poisoning, and other causes.
Studies show that most teens are influenced by their own parents to start drinking.
If parents do not control their kids and they drink them selves almost everyday, they show their kids that drinking is part of an everyday life and the kids start to drink.
It makes sense that parents have the biggest influence on whether their child will drink or not because growing up, children look up to their parents, because they taught them basically everything they know. If a child sees their parent constantly drinking, they wont think anything bad of it, so when it comes time for the kids to make their own decisions they won't have anyone to look up to because of their parents poor decisions.
I would see how parents would have an influence on the actions of their children. However, I think a lot of it also has to do with how technology enhances the positives of drinking. Advertising, social media and television are all exposed to kids. I think it is the society as a whole who is encouraging and supporting underage drinking.
I always knew it wasn't just the kids fault if they started to drink. Kids will always do what their parents do, drinking is no different. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
