I think kids are doing the wrong thing. Young kids are doing drugs and they are just ruining their own life and they should notice what they are doing to themselves. Why are kids doing drugs at such a young age? People are influencing these young age groups to do it and they are following it because they think it is something good to do and that it helps you to relax and calm your body. I can not believe that it has the highest rate of illicit drugs. Parents are also a bad influence on their kids and no matter how much we tell them to quit and stuff they are not going to do it.
A new state-by-state survey by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration shows Rhode Island has the highest rate of illicit drug use in the country for the 12 and older age group.
