Jason April Rancho Cucamonga, CA United States of Amerika Monday, April 28, 2003 at 09:08:06 (EDT) Is that you John Wayne? I read your web log, it seems you are up to your knees in red white and blue. I am not sure. If Bush is "leading" America then I guess I am not an American anymore. There's no way I'll ever sign on for his version of the truth. It is sad to see "questioning authority" relegated to a time period. I thought it was fundamental in a democracy to do so. Well, have fun with your country. Mercutio Mercutio East Europe Saturday, April 19, 2003 at 20:08:28 (EDT) http://www.whatkidscando.org/intheirownwords/Harrispoll.html Page from Harris Polls. On the bottom of the screen, there's a link to a page of protest articles. It includes lots of different articles, including many that I've seen linked from your site! Check it out!

This could even be the year that makes or breaks the whole S 'n' H theory! We're going to have perfect one-on-one correlation of ages with birthyears today!

The title of the article and some of the verbiage suggest that the party days of Ridgemont High rage on, but the stats given support the position that kids are cleaning up - among 7th graders, alcohol use went from 35% to 30%, tobacco use from 7% to 4% and marijuana use from 9% to 7%." "The stats" go a long way beyond just seventh-grade use. Alcohol was the only thing that really fell in high schools, and even that was by only 2% for ninth-graders since the last time it was measured (almost certainly within margin of error, in fact), and even among eleventh-graders, who made slightly more of a change than frosh, it was only 3% (LIKELY within margin of error). Non-alcohol drugs failed to make the slide. The news story specifically mentioned that ninth- and eleventh-grade levels of marijuana use were stagnating (as I said in my original post, "alcohol use is the only thing that's down"). Heroin, as also mentioned, showed a rise in use among high school students, even though the particular story you linked didn't mention that. There was also an increased incidence of binge drinking mentioned in the survey despite the decline of alcohol use in general (also not in the Sacramento Bee write-up of the story). Meth and cocaine also stayed stable, although there was a rise in meth use among eleventh-graders. These stats speak more than just the hype of the title, which is all your response deals with. A special category for XtC was used for the first time in this particular biennial study, which is why no statements about its use compared to previous years could be made. Surveys that HAVE measured XtC for several years show either a slight increase or a stabilization in the past two years or so. This study, OTOH, lumped XtC in with the hallucinogens in prior years. You cite the statistics given for the seventh-graders, but the ninth- and eleventh-graders are failing to make a change. This so-called "article in the Sacramento Bee on high school recreational drug use", in fact, marked the substantial difference in an age bracket who are not even in high school! The days at Ridgemont "High" rage on indeed, because seventh-graders will be kept at the local junior high school, not being a part of the high school campus to affect campus culture. As for grade 7, I don't exactly expect the trends of the Harry Potter generation to extend to teens as a whole. King of Debate Ga USA Sunday, September 22, 2002 at 20:53:11 (EDT) From the main page of your site: We'll post links we find to those commentaries and news reports which indicate that we may, in fact, have turned again. This isn't fair. You ought to be posting articles that support the third turning side of the debate, too. Josh Calaveras, CA USA Thursday, September 19, 2002 at 23:27:54 (EDT) "But rates of drug use are down." No offense, but if you look at that article, alcohl use is the only thing that's down (and that's like 3 percentage points from last time). Marijuana use is constant. And XtC, although measured for the first time in that survey, is coming out in other recent surveys to have a constant use too. They didn't mention the rise of heroin or other things not in that article. If you want to get out the noisemakers to party, don't do it prematurely. King of Debate Ga USA Friday, September 06, 2002 at 14:02:50 (EDT) Great site, I hope to learn more on generation interaction. Currently I am a student at Millersville University. I am a Peer Health Educator, and will be putting a program entitled "The Profiler", to discuss, the challenges and differences that our generation faces. If any has any ideas, please send them over. Thanks Shaun Shaun Gill <shaunie81@yahoo.com> Millersville , PA USA Friday, June 28, 2002 at 23:50:05 (EDT) "Millennials may benefit from increased concern..." Concern? What concern? And what "benefits"? How does policing drugs benefit anyone? Gordon Stickne Hartford, CT USA Wednesday, June 26, 2002 at 17:29:22 (EDT) I would like to say, that I have no generation :) Biff USA Friday, June 21, 2002 at 17:59:45 (EDT) Steve, Generation Watch is indeed a site for sore eyes. It will certainly cut time down the time I spend searching out interesting gerational news material. And, I look forward to reading your commentary going forward as well. Best of luck. Rob Crowther Rob Crowther <rob@mistersuave.com> Seattle, WA USA Thursday, June 20, 2002 at 23:11:11 (EDT) Nice idea Steve. And from what I have seen so far, a welcome addition to the world of internet news commentary. Good luck with the page. I expect to be visiting often. Bill Murray <webmaster@timepage.org> USA Friday, June 14, 2002 at 12:04:53 (EDT) I have really enjoyed putting this web site together, and I hope you enjoyed visiting it. I think this site will help Americans to understand how the different generations each play their important roles in the unfolding drama of our nation's story. Best wishes to everyone and God bless America! Steve Barrera <sbarrera@generationwatch.com> Raleigh, NC USA |
