Topic: alcohol abuse on teenagers (underage drinking)

Thesis statement:

Alcohol abuse on teenagers is a huge problem in this country, but it seems to be a problem with no answer. Many suggestions have been made: raising the drinking age, harsher punishments, but none of these seem adequate as a solution.

Search strategy and evaluating of resources.

• I searched ASA Catalog for books about under age drinking to find ideas to help out families to prevent this to happen to their kids.

• I searched the Internet for “underage drinking” and “alcohol abuse on teenagers” to find the articles about this big problem that affect all of us and support my thesis statement.

• My sources are credible because they are from journals written by professionals, and from websites, which are updated frequently and provide current information.
