Teenagers face dramatic emotional, physical lifestyles in their lives as they continue to grow and are given more freedom to do whatever they please, which makes it easier for them to be in contact with alcohol.
Young adults are influenced to drink alcohol because they see their parents drinking and think it's okay for them to do it too. Just because parents or adults drink doesn't mean teenagers have to follow in their foot steps. They also feel drinking will suppress problems in their life such as depression or anxiety. Parents of the teenagers can also be alcoholics, showing young adults that drinking many amounts of alcohol is right. Parents of teenagers offer alcohol to their child and friends because they don't think that alcohol will do any harm to them. From point of view, as teenager., I've seen teenagers go through this and parents allowing them to drink.
The media also encourages young adults to drink alcohol. Pictures in magazines, commercials, and even celebrities promoting alcohol to the world. By seeing images on the television or magazines give a negative message to teenagers. Many teenagers today look up to celebrities and mimic everything those celebrities do, so seeing them "looking cool" drinking and "having fun, will make teenagers do the same. Commercials also show that drinking is a masculine thing to do, influencing young men to drink just so they will be "more manly." Also, movies influence teenagers to drink, such as the movie Superbad. This movie shows high school students getting a fake I.D. to purchase alcohol and have a party. Most teenagers today use the same idea the movie Superbad used to purchase alcohol.
Teenagers are influenced very easily because they are more gullible around this time of age. They are starting to develop into adults and will follow what they see around them.
