I am originally from the Navajo reservation (a little place called Chinle). I am still under 21 and I know the affects alcohol can give. It makes you feel good....untouchable...but it just makes you vulnerable, especially if you are a teenager.
People think they can “handle it,” but the truth is, it will handle you. I've seen it tear apart my family. If you are being peer-pressured or threatend, refuse it. Don’t take it. Once you have it, you will want more. I am going to draw the line and help other teenagers make the right choice. My younger sibling is on the road to recovery from being a teenage drinker. I know that I and we can make a difference.-- Raelynn, Tucson
