The issue of teenage drug use is growing increasingly prevalent in the Manorville and Eastport areas. This dangerous trend not only endangers the lives and futures of our youth, but also threatens the safety and well-being of our community as a whole. According to a 2019 report by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, approximately 35% of high school seniors have used some form of illicit drug within their lifetime (National Institute on Drug Abuse, 2019). This is a staggering statistic that we cannot ignore. We must take immediate action to address this crisis head-on through comprehensive education programs, increased access to counseling services for at-risk youth, and stronger law enforcement efforts against drug dealers targeting our children. By signing this petition, you are taking a stand against teenage drug use in our community and advocating for change that can save lives. Please sign this petition today to help us protect the future generations of Manorville/Eastport area.
