Summary: Moving on from high school into the real world is a time of excitement, but also of uncertainty about what is being left behind. Students often panic when they leave high school without a set goal, but it can take months, almost years to figure out how to achieve a goal. Research shows that the transition from high school to college, the military, or the workforce can be a high-risk time for young people. When young adults start college, get married, or begin a career, they face new risks from alcohol and other drug abuse. This video looks at these new adult environments.
