National Human Rights Consultation Submission

Submission Text: 

I am writing today over my concern of today's youth, I am a
 
mother of three children, the oldest a 15 year old girl.
 

 
Today's society of binge drinking is frightening and no education is being
 
done in schools. I have witnessed many parties of 13 to 17 year old kids
 
that all drink alcohol. Society needs to wake up and understand the dangers
 
of children drinking alcohol.
 

 
The rising of Alcohol tax has done nothing to combat this problem, kids
 
have just moved on to a different drink.
 

 
Education into the dangers of children and adults drinking alcohol needs to
 
be done in schools from a young age to turn this epidemic around.
 

 
Children's Human Rights are not being met as society is moving way to fast
 
and not enough is being done to educate kids and give them the tools to
 
make well informed decisions.
 

 
Something needs to be done for a change to occur.
 

 
Thank You
