The average age when you first try a drop of alcohol is 11 years old for boys and 13 years old for girls, but the average age for a teen starts drinking regularly is at 15 years old. Pretty young right. There are three causes of death that is most common for 15- to 24-year-olds which are car crashes, homicides and suicides and alcohol is the cause for all three of them. Another cause their parents, they have quite an influence on the teenagers. It has been predicted that 11% of alcohol has been consumed by under age drinkers. Drinking may also lead to teens doing drugs. 60% of high school seniors drink alcohol on a weekly basis. Teens are most likely to drink and drive than adults.

__SCENES:__
Act I:(Outside focusing on a passed out drunk teen) Showing Jim (Passed out teen) and an over voice of facts on teens: The average age when you first try a drop of alcohol is 11 years old for boys and 13 years old for girls years old for girls. It will then fade and it will show Jim lying there. This teen is 13 years old and I guess he has been drinking, and I think it killed him, nope (Jim) he's alive, wait no (fell on the floor again) never mind. After that I will walk and turn around and Jim will be gone as I am walking I see Jim lying at my feet, with a bottle in his hand. I grab a stick and poke him multiple times and as I am poking him he rolls over. He stars to get up and walks but we then see him walk right into a basketball hoop pole. "He is definitely drunk."

Act II: Showing pictures of some hurt teens, (Boom Boom by Big Head Todd & The Monsters will be playing) and a voice over: "Some teens when they get to far in drinking the can try to commit suicide, isn't that terrible?" (We now see a teen sitting alone outside) "This teen will now tell us his story. Go ahead Christian, tell us our story.”(Flashback of experience) "Okay well I was out one night...... and.....then me and my friends started to drink and we just could not stop..... so I was like really drunk, and I found a gun and I was like oh, cool this is so cool. I then looked at it and I was saying, “I hate my life!!!!!!!!!”(I feel like dying by Lil’ Wayne will be playing.) Then I pointed the gun at my head and pulled the trigger. (It will show a video of James Bond Gun Barrel.) “I thought I had died when I saw the light of the emergency room.” “Now Christian has stopped drinking and has had a bad experience.” It will then go to the theater and it will show one of Eli’s Shows and all the people booing. “This is a rock star who has ruined his career by drinking a lot. You can now see how much he SUCKS!!!!!!!.” The show will end and everyone leaves. “Now I have time to interview him.” (Walk up to the stage) “Hey, Eli I USED to like your music but not anymore, what happened to you.” “Well you know, (Eli will have the hiccups during our talk, and act all drunk) I used to live right down there (pointing to the floor), but then I moved to there (still pointing to the floor).” “Okay well, I want to know what happened to you not that you live on the floor.” “Cool it man, okay so…” “Hey Eli, sup?” (Yana acting drunk) “Nuttin’ much.” (Eli) “Yo, yo, yo the cool kid in the house”(Ben-drunk) “Well who are these kids”(Me) “Well these are my homies, you know, mah dogs, the also taught me about the wonders of alcohol.”(Eli) “Yeah we did.” (Yana and Ben) “Okay that’s why you suck now, right?” (Me) “Huh?” (Eli) “Nuttin’.” (Me) While Eli and his friends were walking they all just collapse. “Well now we know what happened to Eli. As you an see rock stars can ruin their career drinking.”

Act III: Teen Drinking is awful but if you have some one who drinks there are some tips to help your teen. First the best and most effective way for an someone to fight his or her addictive actions is through a self-help support group, with advice and support from a health care professional. If that does not work you parents can pay more attention and give them more support.
