Survey Results
The issue that I am focusing on is drinking in college. This is not new news to most of us, but is an issue that is shoved under the rug. The survey I conducted entailed what a person’s drinking experience consisted of. I focused on teenagers that will be attending college within the next year. I created a google form that allowed me to collect personal data about one's experience anonymously. Although I surveyed high school students, this survey still gave me accurate results because most of them will carry these actions with them to college. The results of the survey were similar to my initial thoughts of students drinking. Even with the age limit for drinking students in high school and most definitely college will find a way to consume alcohol. It is a given that by the time you graduate high school you will have had some encounter with alcohol. Most of the students live in a urban area, which makes is much easier to access this substance at a young age. A little over half of the students were pressured into drinking and have made this a habit for themselves. The amount that each student drank varied, some had more self control than others.
