My experiences

So my teacher reccomended that i used my own, "first hand experience" to support my topic. So i guess that means talking about partying and getting drunk in an academic paper. That just doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the tone of the paper very well. I guess if i focus on how teens try to act like how they see teens party in the movies that is effecting their parting behavior. But realy how much worse can watching a movie be for teens who are already acting like that? Does it just renforce the idea that parting and getting drunk is ok?
