Research: Marijuana is not a major gateway drug

The results could have implications for drug policy, the study authors argue. "Employment in young adulthood can protect people by 'closing' the marijuana gateway," said lead author Karen Van Gundy, in a news release, "so over-criminalizing youth marijuana use might create more serious problems if it interferes with later employment opportunities."

Why Social Media Is Actually Good For Teens

Social technology such as texting and Facebook is a tool for today’s teens to develop emotional bonds, their own identities, and an ability to communicate and work with others according to psychologists. In fact, teens who spend time on social networking sites are actually the healthiest psychologically according to new accumulating evidence. In one study, researchers found that well-adjusted teens were more likely to use social media in their early 20s, regardless of their age, gender, ethnicity or their parent’s income.

Going after parents who provide alcohol for their kids

With the arrival of proms, graduations and warm weather, community leaders are geared up for another prime party season. And more are taking a get-tough approach with adults who provide alcohol to minors, or who turn their backs to underage drinking, whether it's on their property or not. In Lake County, 24 municipalities — most recently Barrington and Lake Forest — have approved "social-host" laws that penalize any adult who allows a minor to drink or use drugs. Chicago's social-host ordinance calls for jailing any "supervising adult" for up to six months if convicted of allowing teen drinking or possession of alcohol.
