Dear Colleagues,
Teenagers are confronted with unprecedented challenges as they
make their way through adolescence. Unplanned pregnancies, alcohol
and drug use, eating disorders, youth violence, depression, suicide,
peer pressure, family stress, and broken relationships are just a
few of the issues facing today's adolescents. This week's
newsletter focuses on some of these health concerns.

5. NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES
Losing Generations: Adolescents in High-Risk Settings
At least 7 million young Americans--fully one-quarter of
adolescents 10 to 17 years old--may be at risk of failing
to achieve productive adult lives. They use drugs, engage
in unprotected sex, drop out of school, and sometimes commit
crimes, effectively closing the door to their own futures.

6. NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON DRUG ABUSE
Club Drugs
Ecstasy, Herbal Ecstasy, Rohypnol, GHB, and Ketamine are

of a nightclub, bar, rave, or trance scene.
