drink confession

Two teenage girls explain why they drink to excess.

The first confession is about Paris who started to drink when she was 14 years old. She lived with her mother who is an alcoholic. There was always alcohol in her house and sometimes she bought alcohol for her mother. now Paris says she was an idiot and she regrets not working harder at school.

The second confession is about Shannon. She started to drink when she was 13 years old, because for her it was just a way to escape and have fun. Her parents were aware of her problem but she waits in front of shops and off-licences and ask shoppers to buy alcohol for her. A bottle of wine is so cheap and it very easy for her to buy alcohol.

I am frightened by these confessions because I didn't think that young girls started to drink at 13 or 14 years old !!!! Now they regret their acts, but it is too late !!!!!
