FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): 1. "Alcoholism and drugs can permanently damage the brain" of young teenagers which can affect them later on their life. |
2. Since teenagers are more likely to get addicted, it is better to "treat them during this time of their life" since it is the most crucial time. |
3. People usually have "underlying problems that must be addressed if they want to recover". This is why professors and doctors encourage group, peer discussions. |
4. Some researchers think that "people who do not particiapte in drinking might not have enough friends to protect them from depression" and that it all relates to peer pressure. |
5. In young adulthood, "substance abuse may be very common" and it affects the crucial time of self-development. |
Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
This website shows and helps to instruct teenagers and parents on what is happening to them. They explain why some teenagers and young adults will use drugs and alcohol to form some kind of escape from a emotional problem. They give a step by step on what people should do if they are addicted and want help, plus also gives out the links/ phone numbers to actual rehab centers.
Credibility of Source:
Author or Site: Who is the author? What training have they had? If there is no author, examine the site. What is the purpose of the site? Who funds the site?
The author is not known in this artricle but the purpose of this site is to get people aware and educated on what is happening to drug and alcohol abusers. The CRC Health Group funds this site and it is said to be an "educational website".
Attachment: Does the author or site have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative? For example, is it a cigarette business posting an article about the benefit of cigarettes, or is it a scientific community unaffiliated with the cigarette business?
The author does not gain anything from this besides to educate people on the problem. There does seem to be some lack of attachment since it does not include any personal stories, but straight facts.
Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?
There seems to be no bias opinion because it displays both the negative and positive effects on people.
does the author cite refernces in the writing? do these add or take away from the credibility?
The author barely cite any references so it sort of adds to the credibility to the article.
How will you use this source in your project?
I plan to use this source on how people can learn how to "get over" an addiction from home and that there are resources out there for them that is only a click away.
