As a class we will explore this question by looking at data that has already been collected to try to get an idea of what the characteristics of a 'teenage drinker' are. You will keep all the information you gather on you wikki page. We will then create our own survey to collect data from students at Prospect High School to see how they compare tp this data.

 * 2. 27% of teens betwwen 14 and 16 years of age get an adult friend to buy their alcohol

===4. Choose 3 of the statistics on your list and write a question/s for each. This should be a queston that could be used to collct similar data from the Prospect High School student population. Record these on your wikki page. For example, if the statistic you collected was - 22% of teen drinkers were under 14 years of age, your questions might be something like this:===
 * 1. How old are you?
 * 2. Do you drink alcoohol?
 * Yes/No

===6. Go back to the Cancer Council survey and have a look at their questinairre. Are there any questions from this survery that would be useful for us. Record these on your wikki page.===
