Description of Site: This website has a lot of good information about teen drug use. It has many subsections which include facts on drugs, real stories, and portion for parents and teachers. On the sides of the website there are links to view specific kinds of drugs and links that explain the effect of drugs on the brain. The most useful of the site to a user would be the real stories. This way the reader is able to see just how harmful drugs are. The site is very colorful and is good at gaining attention. I also think someone looking for a website on teen drug use would find this first because it was the first page to come up on certain search engines.
