Drugs, Alcohol and Teen Pregnacy

During the course of this semester of health class, I will be interested in learning about the effects of drugs and alcohol on the human body, and also the saftey and danger precautions and consequences of these substances. I want to know statistics about drunk driving, and about what age kids drink illegally underage. I want to know what drugs do to people, and how the effects take a toll on their life. I want to learn about prevention of kids drinking and doing drugs underage, and what can happen to kids when they get caught with illegal substances. I also want to know what happens to people when they get caught for drunk driving. For example, I want to know what happens on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd etc..., offenses for people, and what consequences they must live with. Another thing I would like to talk about in class is what drinking and doing drugs does to affect the other people in the users life. Some other things I would like to know, would be about gateway drugs and the effect of taking those and leading to other drugs. Also, I would like to know about over dosing on both alcohol and drugs, and how doing these substances can cause death to both the user and the other people in their life that can be affected. Besides for drugs and alcohol, I would like to learn about some STDs because it is always good to know about different diseases that you could obtain sexually. I want to learn about teen preganacy and how to prevent it with contracepts, and by using safe sex practices.
