Our result is that peer effect has a positive effect on youth smoking, drinking and drug using. The male is significant than female. The higher in grades is less in smoking, drinking and drug using. On the period of senior and senior to college, we add the variable of in school or not. We find that the youth in school is less significant in smoking, drinking and drug using than not in school. When the period is getting longer, we find that the variables of father alive or not and father education is more significant. Father alive or not is significant negative in youth smoking, drinking or drug using. Father education is significant positive in youth smoking, drinking or drug using.
