Question by Shanelle: How do I write an introduction for an essay?
PLEASE HELP!! I have an outline due tomorrow and I’m writing an essay about teen drug abuse, and how it is at an all time high. And the type of essay I’m writing is a problem-solution essay. Here’s my thesis statement:

I’m really stuck so someone help me with form an introduction!

Answer by Rachel
Drug abuse by teens is at an all time high. Is a good first sentence. Just work off of that. Don’t say any solutions in the intro. Save that for the body of the essay. And in the conclusion you basically want to restate the intro but in different words.
