Why Do Teens Use Drugs?

There are many reasons why teens use drugs. The main reason:

To Fit In!
Many Teens believe that to fit in with their classmates, taking drugs will make them look cooler.

But drugs are not the answer! Being yourself is the best way to fit in with people.

Another reason: to have fun! Many teens get bored, and want to try something new!

However, if abused, bad things can happen such as heart disease and liver damage.

Also, peer pressure! Many teens are forced by friends to try drugs as they believe that it will not harm them.

If you know something is dangerous, don't do it because your friends are forcing you to. Stand up for yourself!

Another one is role modeling! Sometimes, a teenager may have a friend who is a heavy smoker, so that would encourage them to try a cigarette.

Instead of hanging out with that person, the teen can be around other students who do not do drugs.

Last but not least, beliefs. Some teenagers may see some people doing drugs and are fine after, so it makes them think that there's nothing wrong with taking drugs.

Before relying on your beliefs and doing something you've never done, learn about the risks of doing it. Sometimes, something wrong could happen at any time!
