okay.
i'm doing a paper on teenage stress.
more focused "how teenage stress relates to teen drug and alocohol abuse"
meaning, do we drink when stressed.
& id like to do a simple, anonymous survey @ school. just type a paper, with all yes/no or 'fill in the bubble' questions.
k, here's where you come in
one] do you think this is a good idea
& two] what sort of questons should i put
i was thinking something like
when feeling stressed, do you have have an urge to drink alcohol; yes/no
& then they can circle one, you know?
I would abandon the A, B, C or D answer format for your survey. Other than that the idea is sound and should yeild a lot of colorful answers but not one solid consensus.
I think what you ought to do is limit your survey to 5 questions and leave room to put a paragraph answer in. The thing you are trying to prove or disprove is "Does stress have any relationship to teen drug and alchohol abuse? Ask them to expand in a few lines why it does or doesn't and then write your report to go with the results you got.
That would earn you great marks and also help the kids in your class alereting them in an anonymous way to things they need to address to help their adolescent pupils.
Start with that one question as it's what you are trying to prove overall. Then if I were you I would ask as a follow up question Do you think you would be able to recognize if someone had a drug or drinking problem without them saying anything?
And then, I would ask them if it were me doing this "What constitutes a drug or drinking problem to you?
Anyways, I hope this helps. Now it's up to you to come up with some creative ideas of your own too and deliver your report. I think you will do fine. Ultimately, you may find out that your question on how does teenage stress relate to teen drug alcohol abuse cannot truly be answered.

ductape_n_roses answered Tuesday January 23 2007, 10:17 pm: 1. Do you think that drug use and drinking will help deal with your stress?
2. Have you often turned your thoughts to drugs or alcohol when you're stressed?
3. Have you been tempted to try drugs or alcohol when you were often under stress?
Imperialistic answered Tuesday January 23 2007, 10:15 pm: Yes, I think it's a very good idea but you should make the survey more subtle so the students don't exactly know what it's about. For example:
1. You find that sometimes your schoolwork, extracurriculars, work or personal life are overwhelming
2. You feel stressed at least once every a month
3. You feel stressed at least once every week
4. You feel stressed all the time
5. You have had a breakdown in the past two months
6. You drink sometimes
7. You drink very often
8. You mostly drink by yourself or one or two friends than drink at parties or social gatherings
9. You feel that drinking relieves stress
This way you'll be able to point out who drinks casually like a teenager and who drinks because they are truly stressed. [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]

1. Before big tests, would you consider purchasing/do you purchase drugs such as Ritalin without a prescription? (People tend to do this before ACT's/SAT's)
