Decline in teen drug use continues, surprising experts

Is it possible this batch of survey respondents just doesn’t trust anyone with information about their habits, so they lied?

Came here to say this. I remember these surveys in high school and how non-seriously we took them. Really, I can’t imagine any group less credible to survey than high schoolers.

But it's changing over time, and students always lied.

But it's possible that this generation is wiser/ more cynical and doesn't believe in anonymous surveys.

I know I don't.

everywhere this survey has been done. colleges, independent firms, doctors office, the results are all the same.

Teens and young adults today are doing less sex, less drugs. All those can't be wrong unless todays teens are collectively less truthful than tennagers from previous eras. I doubt that.
