In England, specially this year, teeangers between 15 and 18 years old are drinking in abundance when the go to parties and the dont know what they are doing to their bodies and their health.

Doctors have proved that teenagers between 15 and 18 years old do not develop their neurons correctly and they are not able to do cognitive activities, and what is more probable is that they can continue drinking alcohol when they become adults. Also, these teenagers if they continue drinking, alcohol can affect their memory and learning.

Parents interviewed last monday in the center of London have said that they know that their children drink alcohol but they dont tell them, they think that are in a stage of life where they want to try new things, that is the alcohol in this case, most parents said that their children tell them that they drink when they turn 17 years old. They aldo said that, even the know their children drink, they dont let them drink untill they turn 18 years old.

Teenagers interviewed last thursday near the London Eye said that they drink alcohol every single party they go, but that they dont get too drunk, that they know their limits, not only boys interviewed, girls said thay they drink too but that they dont get as drunk as the boys. They also said that they lie to their parents when the party is over and they go back home, they say to their parents, no matter what, that they didnt drink alcohol during the party.
