in 2-3 paragraphs, evaluate the consequences of under age drinking on individuals and their families.

Underage drinking is becoming a serious issue in our country and in many places around the world. Many of the people I go to school with recklessly partake in this activity without ever considering the consequences that this action can have on themselves, their families, or their future.

Disregarding the very real legal consequences that kids will face if caught participating in underage drinking, there are several other factors that make the act so destructive. Some of the consequences of underage drinking include unintentional driving injuries, homicide or other violent acts, self-harm attempts, risky sexual behavior, vandalism, property damage, and the list goes on. These consequences can be life changing for a teenage drinker's family. But physical harm isn't all that is done when participating in underage drinking.

Many studies have shown the effects of drinking on an undeveloped adolescent brain. Many teens write these studies off, saying that they aren't adolescents and have nothing to worry about. The truth is, the human brain doesn't stop developing until around age 21, the legal drinking age. Underage drinking is a self-destructive behavior that faces individuals and their families with scary consequences.

it's false.
