PRESENTATION OF FINDINGS
Students, the ages of 15-16 part take in the consumption of
alcohol the most.
Majority of the students, who consumes alcohol, did so
base on their own decision.
Majority of students questioned were affect negatively by
consumption of alcohol. In other words, the alcoholic
beverage made them drunk, leaving them partially
unconscious and some not having self control.
Many students are not willing to stop drinking, but the
minority who do, do not believe that avoiding parties is the
answer to stop consuming alcohol. They prefer to drop a
friend that influences them to.

RECOMMENDATIONS
Parents should ensure that it becomes their number one
responsibility to educate their child about the consequences
of drinking. Parents should ensure that their child do not
attend social events that encourages under aged children to
part take in consuming alcoholic beverages.
Parents should limit the amount of parties their child attend.
Also adults who promote these events should encourage
under aged children to refrain from drinking alcohol or
from consuming too much in order for it not to influence
their behaviour.
