Binge Drinking, Alcohol Poisoning, School Violence - This website is devoted to sharing information with parents and students about the perils being faced by college-aged kids. As a parent, you need to know what dangers are threatening your kids on campus and what you can do about it. As an student at a college or university, you need to understand the issues that are affecting students and you need to understand how you can help yourself or a friend that is facing addiction or some of the other issues we will address on this site.

As a college instructor and a parent, I see students every day that are struggling to stay out of trouble. There is enormous peer pressure to drink alcohol excessively, to party non-stop, and to experiment with drugs.

You need to know what is going on. You need to know what factors are influencing the massive drop-out rate.
