The Problem of Teenage Alcohol Abuse

I remember reading about alcohol abuse among teenagers and learning that millions of teens in the United States engage in alcohol abuse.  When you stop to think about this, this statistic is shocking.  How is it that so many teens in the U.S. (and in other developed countries in the world) drink in an abusive manner? 

What are the parents of these teens doing about this problem?  How are our school systems addressing this problem?  In case it escapes most people, the more teens in our country who abuse alcohol the more adults there will be who not only abuse alcohol but who become alcohol dependent.
