If you have anything bad to say about kids today, just shut up

I guess you could find something wrong with some kid, somewhere, but come on. Data are from the 2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. In each of these charts, kids 12-17 are the RED LINE.


Cigarette use:



Alcohol use:



Pot use. And this is after legalization, when lots of you started screaming that this would HAVE to lead to increased use:



Cocaine:



Heroin:



Things don’t look good for all age groups, but for adolescents – the red line – we’re pretty much at the lows. Not to mention teen pregnancy rates and teen births continue their all time lows. What more do you want from them?
