Teenage Drug Abuse Statistics – Teenage drug abuse statistics at www.drug-aware.com. How many young people use drugs? Have a look at http for additional information. There are a variety of places you can look at for figures, however one of the best are the ones presented by the British Home Office. The Home Office question approximately 20000 younger people every other year to work out exactly what modern society is doing.

At the age of thirteen 9% had previously taken drugs and at age eleven four percent had tried drugs. For additional info on this, please have a look at www.drug-aware.com.
