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. They’ve identified, based upon the surveys conducted, that an estimated Half of all 16-29 year olds used drugs during the last 12 months. However, if that’s lowered to a marginally younger age range of sixteen – twenty four year olds it works out that 1 in 5 have tried drugs in the last calendar month.

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.
