A Message From The Elephant Is In The Room: Stay Alert. It’s normal for kids to push boundaries, however, that can be dangerous when it comes to alcohol. Talk to your kids and help them stay alcohol free. (Credit: childmind.org/article/talk-teenager-substance-use-abuse)

A Message From The Elephant Is In The Room: Have you heard of the latest TikTok trend? Neither have we. But we do know that the Illinois Youth Survey data shows that roughly 80% of teens have not used alcohol in the last month. Of all the latest trends, underage drinking isn’t one of them.
