• One reason why teens use drugs is because of stress. Stress can come to teens in many ways and for many reasons. Lots of people underestimate the effects that stress can have on a teen or young adult. But why use drugs ? There are many alternatives to which one can do to relive stress including meditation, joining in activities, changing your environment and exercise. Don't try doing something that may seem good at the time but you'll later regret. Youcan fight stress a much easier way that will benifit you in the long run.

PEER PRESSURE

• Another reason why teens go towards drugs is because of peer pressure or trying to fit in. Lots of people surrond themselves with others who aren't in a good path. This can lead to influence of the use of drugs to other people. Trying to fit in is something everyone wants, you can achieve this in many ways like being yourself, surrounding yourself with good people, and lastly by being happier. Who doesnt lke people with smiles on their faces and feeling confident. So instead of trying to fit in wuth drugs try being yourself and having good friends!

Misinformed

• Our next reason teens get involved with drugs is the wrong information they get. Teens are misinformed all the time about the effect drugs can have on you . They don't know or don't take it seriously. But why do not all teens take this seriously. We need to have more propaganda on why drugs should not be consumed. If teens get more informed they wont turn to drugs as easily as some do.

EASY ACCESS

Their are many options you can do including talking to someone like a family member or psychiatrist , also you can find something that relaxes you and makes you happy.
