More and More cases have been brought up about how children are being raised by their siblings rather then their parents. In most cases the parents are substance abusers and the siblings are old enough to be proper role models. On the other hand alot of government officals and physciatrists are concerned with that descion. Some feel as if it is a mere part of adolesence that they experience new things and have the descion to make between wrong and right but what if their descion is wrong and they too begin abusing alcohol, where does that leave the child? According to an article in BIO MEDICINE the percentage of children who are early substance abusers that have older siblings is alot higher then those who dont have older siblings. I agree and dont agree with this but if its shown more around the house hold its more likely that the children will feel oblidged to try " the new things".
