The use of alcohol and drugs is common among American teens and more than 15 percent meet the criteria for substance abuse, a new study finds.
?Once again we are reminded that in most cases experimentation with alcohol and drug use begins in adolescence,? said Bruce Goldman, director of Substance Abuse Services Zucker Hillside Hospital in Glen Oaks, New York.
?Unfortunately, many young people are at risk for abuse and dependence problems due to factors including a genetic predisposition, environmental availability, difficulties in school, social or family problems and concurrent psychiatric or behavioral,? said Goldman, who did not participated in the study.
In the study, Joel Swendsen, University of Bordeaux in France, and colleagues analyzed data from a U.S. survey. States With more than 10,000 adolescents aged 13 to 18 years of age. They found that over 78 percent of older teens had consumed alcohol, about 47 percent had used at least twelve drinks a year, and about 15 percent met criteria for alcohol abuse.
The study also found that 81.4 percent of adolescents reported greater opportunity to use illicit drugs, 42.5 percent used drugs, and 16.4 percent abused drugs.
The average age when teenagers began using substances was 14 years for regular use or abuse of alcohol with or without dependence, 14 years for drug abuse dependence, and 15 years for drug abuse without dependence.
?Since the early-onset substance use is a significant predictor of behavior and substance use disorders throughout life, the public health implications of the current findings are comprehensive,? they wrote in the edition of April issue of Archives of General Psychiatry.
It must do more to ensure that young people do not start early on the road to substance abuse, Goldman emphasized.
?It is imperative that families, schools, police, youth groups and communities together to prevent or delay the onset of substance use as much as possible,? he asked. ?Social norms have a powerful impact on patterns of drug use. We must create rules that the use and availability of substances, particularly among young people is not acceptable.?
This means giving young people the resources to fight, said Goldman. ?The effective early intervention should be universally available to young people who use substances,? he said.

The city tests will be given from preK to 12th grade in addition to the state exams.
The state is expected to add 9 ELA and math exams per student per year, along with 2 exams each in social studies, math, art, music, foreign language, and physical education, for a total of 21 state tests a year per student.
The city looks to be adding a whole battery of ELA and math tests as well:
The DOE released a new set of RFP?s to testing companies to develop yet another set of ?local assessments? to be given starting next year. [Apparently the 408 assessments bid out in July did not result in any contracts.] The bids are due April 23. The announcement says that 24 contracts could result, for God knows how many millions of dollars.It is unclear how many local assessments will result from all these new contracts, but probably hundreds over three years. There are 23 testing ?components? in all; with each component involving a "grade span" and a content area, and 40 items in each test, probably to be taken on computers, which will involve yet more millions to buy.
The DOE is pitching this new set of RFP?s to provide new sets of ?diagnostic? and ?interim? assessments, but the only required part of the RFP is ?end of course? exams, which is very difficult to argue is ?diagnostic? since there will be varying amounts of summer learning loss for different students. ?Diagnostic? for what? Next year?s exams?
In all, the RFP?s arouse suspicion that the DOE?s intention is to use them as more high-stakes tests, most probably as the ?locally developed? portion of the new statewide teacher evaluation system, though the UFT has not agreed to this. They can certainly be used for high-stakes decision-making as regards school closures and progress reports. And there is little doubt that they will take hours more away from instruction, real learning, and important subjects like art, music etc.
You can see that over the next few years, it is possible students will take 35+ high stakes tests a year. Teachers' jobs and reputations will be based on these scores, with the newspapers set to print the "bad teachers" who cannot "add value" to their students' scores and the state ready to fire any teacher who comes up "ineffective" two years in a row.
If all this high stakes testing were not bad enough news, Diane Ravitch points out that the city plans to censor the content of the tests so that nothing controversial shows up on them:
After the news broke last week that the New York City Department of Education had effectively banned a long list of topics that might appear on its citywide standardized tests, our city?s school system became a national laughing stock. Department spokesman Matthew Mittenthal lamely defended the long list of taboos by saying that any mention of them ?could evoke unpleasant emotions in the students.?For a school system that never worries about the ?unpleasant emotions? caused by its harmful focus on relentless testing, it?s an outrageous and ironic response.
It is also, as I?ll soon explain, a misleading explanation of why such word bans so commonly happen in our schools.
First, let?s understand exactly what?s going on here. The city is planning to create a lot of new tests in science, social studies and other subjects, and based on the request for proposals it sent to prospective test development companies, it?s clear that the tests will be dumbed down by clumsy censorship.
How can a good science test forbid reference to evolution, dinosaurs, geological history, vermin, alcohol, tobacco, drugs, disease and bodily functions? Beats me.
How can a good social studies test avoid asking about war, terrorism, nuclear weapons, politics, poverty, religion, disasters, crime or loss of employment? Beats me.
Anyone who does not work at the DOE?s Tweed headquarters can quickly see that such tests will be stripped of much of their meaningful educational content.
...
Why is evolution taboo? Because fundamentalists don?t want to see it mentioned. Fundamentalists also oppose any reference to dinosaurs ? because that implies evolution.
And our city will ban any mention of Halloween, parapsychology, the occult and witchcraft because fundamentalists long ago objected to anything that hints of paganism, deities or Satanism. In fact, any reference to religion is taboo because whatever is referred to will be sure to annoy someone.
Expensive gifts, vacations and prizes can?t be mentioned because some children might feel bad reading about others who have more than they do.
Birthday parties can?t be mentioned because some children don?t have birthday parties, and some religious groups object to birthdays. Nor should students ever encounter a reference to a home computer or a home swimming pool because many are likely to feel bad to see that other people have such items but they don?t.
Then there are topics excluded ? like death, disease, terrorism, divorce, homelessness, violence, war, slavery and loss of employment ? because sensitivity reviewers fear that students will be upset just to see such concepts mentioned on a test.
It?s bad enough that the purposeful exclusion of ideas and social realities that students encounter in their daily lives and see on television will make the exams bland and boring. Worse is the possible effect on what?s taught every day in classrooms across the city. Will social studies classes avoid discussions of war, terrorism and poverty? Will English classes omit books like ?The Great Gatsby? (too many luxuries), or books by Elie Wiesel (disasters and religion in the same book), or the Harry Potter series (witchcraft), or the speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr. (too many references to slavery, poverty and politics)?
How can education reformers claim high stakes standardized tests censored and scrubbed of meaningful content should be used to make high stakes decisions for students, teachers and schools?
How can social studies tests devoid of references to war, poverty, or slavery be used to assess what students know about social studies?
How can they be used to evaluate social studies teachers?
Dunno, but we are soon going to find out.
And if some students are held back, some teachers are fired and slandered in the NY Post and Daily News as "Bad Teachers" over these tests, oh well.
We can't talk about that kind of thing in Michael Bloomberg's New York because it is controversial and might upset somebody.
Instead we just compliantly follow Bloomberg's policy and assume since he is one of the wealthiest men in the country, he must know what is best for us all.
Oh, wait - I can't mention "wealth," can I?
For a large number of people who are seriously overweight, fatty liver disease can cause a significant trouble, especially because it is often detected only after it?s too late to be dealt with effectively. While there are 2 various forms of fatty liver disease, alcoholic and non-alcoholic, the non-alcoholic variety is the most common type of this disease within the United States.In any case, the best way to help stop this condition from developing is through an intensive weight loss program which will not just eliminate the extra fat, but it allows you to remain much healthier for many years to come.
Although it is frequently an unnoticeable condition, fatty liver disease does have a few signs and symptoms that might not be present until after the situation worsens. Fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, confusion, and nausea will often appear, along with possible discomfort within the abdomen, the look of dark patches around the skin, or an enlarged liver.While routine check-ups with a doctor will likely help to diagnose the condition, a biopsy or imaging may be needed for a much more correct diagnosis.While no specific treatment method actually exists for the condition, weight loss could be one of the most important steps taken to get the level of fat under control again.Gradual weight loss is a must, however, because losing too much weight too quick will make the disease even worse. This can be realized through fitness along with a healthy diet plan consisting of foods that do not contain refined carbohydrates and a restricted number of calories.
There are lots of reasons why weight reduction is so important for treatment and prevention of the illness.The liver works as a excess fat burning organ in addition to one which pumps out the excess fat, making it essential for proper metabolism to take place.By increasing the amount of healthy foods, such as those high in fiber, in the diet plan, the excess fat is taken out through the bowels instead of remaining inside the liver.When too much fat resides inside the abdominal area, the liver becomes a fat storing organ and will no longer perform the way it should.
Improving the function of the liver is the initial step at working towards this disease related weight loss.Even though there are lots of important reasons for keeping your weight down, keeping fatty liver disease away is by far one of the most important.The easiest way to remain healthy and keep the body working efficiently is to improve the fitness level of fatty liver disease.
