Why do America’s best educated kids suffer from drug & alcohol abuse? While the mainstream media beats up on public schools, our guest, Dr. Suniya Luthar, has authored several studies proving that it’s America’s elite institutions of higher learning that are the real pits of despair, anxiety, alcoholism and drug abuse.

Across the country, we have recurrently found that students at such schools show higher rates of disturbance compared with average American teens. Their problems range from depression, anxiety and self-harm to random acts of delinquency and, yes, abuse of drugs and alcohol.
