Interview with Dr. Wu
Q-Out of all the people you see here, what is the ratio for young people, lets say under 21, and adults which are older than 21?
A-Off the top of my head, I would say every one out of four people that come here is a teenager.
Q-Are the substances users here, regardless of age, act the same way?
A-I would have to say yes, many of them of both age groups come in with shakes and sweats, some of them are really angry, addiction is addiction no matter on who it is to be honest.
Q-There are many alcohol deterring advertisements out there, but they all seem to focus on age, which seems not as efficient to me, what is your thought on this matter?
A-Alcohol, drug, and almost ANY addiction is a negative thing, and yes I have noticed that age seems to be important in these advertisements too, I have to agree that age should not be the focus for addiction deterrence.
Survey
Q-If alcohol was given to an adult, of age 21 and up, and given to a teenager, age 12 to 18, who would you trust more with the substance, the adult or the teenager, and why?
A-18: Adults are more mature than teenagers and are trusted more on an average daily basis anyways
A-6: Teenagers in the present are capable of being more responsible than adults, they maybe younger but the lack of age makes them have more fear of the law.
A-2: The answer is not clearly black and white, it really depends on the individuals that are observed
Q-What would be the difference if an adolescent drinking and an adult drinking was compared?
A-17: Adolescents who drink will mature into "bad" adults.
