The bottom line is this, there is a problem across america with teens drinking. It did not just happening in Derby. Derby is just the stage that it's played on and we as adults must address the issues through education, love and reflection of our teen years. If one would take the time and visit some of the websites (myspace.com, facebook.com just to name a couple)that your kids visit it would be known how wide spread this problem is and the merit badge it it hold for students. Do not get me wrong, I'm not saying students should give into their peers and drink, I am saying that we as adult must address the drinking issues as a whole and hope of changing the negative images multi media (MTV, BET, Rap industry etc...)are providing our students. Finally, ask yourself this one question, How many times after an event you visited a bar/resturant for a sandwich and saw a family (with kids) ordering food and the parents are drinking a mixed drink or a beer? I know I'm guilty of this or when your kids watch Nick day and night and you took them to a live show and you saw dad order a beer for himself and coke for that kid, the message that the kid may have witiness was, I need a drink to enjoy myself. I guess it time to stop focus on Derby and place emphasis on the big picture HS drinking in general and what we are willing to do to address the issues?
