Teen Drug Abuse Statistics?

Question by D.L.Douglas: Teen drug abuse statistics?
I am looking for statistics to back up my belief that teens coming from a stable home with two parents and strong religious background are less likely to abuse drugs than teens from broken homes. Real numbers please, no rhetoric.

Answer by ?w?oa? [[urbia.]]
But thats not true.
Teens from dysfunctional familys are more likely to do drugs, and 97% of familys are dysfunctional.
Also teens with addicts in the family (weather they are recovered or not) are more likely to get into drugs

I’m a drug addict, recovering, and I have a very loving family, and my parents and sister are Christians.

I’ve listened to all this stuff a billion times and know it like I know the back of my hand (in the metopherical sense of course.)
