But among young people from 12 to 24 years of age, alcohol abuse is increasing at least twice the rate. Drug abuse, too, is an increasingly serious factor in all aspects of the lives of our youth, as each day's news sadly confirms. The National Federation and its members believe that this chemical epidemic among students will not recede by itself. The battle requires effective education and prevention programs — programs to help students resist the peer pressure that engenders chemical abuse, programs that can take chemical abuse out of style in our society.
