Why teenagers use drug or smoking alot these days?

Question

what are the reasones and causes for such a social problem?what are the consenquese?

Answer 1

Teenagers are normally rebelllious and they experiment with substances that are taught to never use.  Most come out unscathed and some will develop life-long addictions.

Answer 2

It's either to cope from their problems or they just like the fun of it.

Answer 3

people use drugs to get away from their lives in most cases, or with the more extreme types they just want a head rush or are feeding an addiction.  in teens, the most common factor is peer pressure.  books, movies, friends, classmates.  a lot of times, these are the factors that will end up with you, hypothetically, using cigarrettes or pot.  the other types are just so you can get the head rush, and you probobly dont get into taht stuff unless you have tried the lighter stuff.  its a stupid crutch, a weakness, that people, and especially teens, have.  we want to get away, stand out from the crowd, but still fit in.  they're a poison, and sadly a big part of modern day society.

Answer 4

peer pressure...not enuff adult-influence...boredom...

Consequences: addiction

Answer 5

I think they get a lot pressure from their family and they can' t handle it, so they find drugs or smoking as the only solution. Others do it because they want to become "revolutionists" against their family's ideas.

The effect of this acting in their health is very serious, but in their  psychological  situation, too!

Answer 6

The consequences? From fun to death.

Answer 7

Not any different from why drugs were used in all of history: To escape personal demons and the excruciating pain of daily life that some people might have. It's nothing but a crutch for people to lean on and it's nothing but a weakness to be addicted to any sort of drugs.

Answer 8

Teens will be tempted to do what their forbidden to do. Plus they often have parents that have participated in that behavior. Let your teenager have a beer with you occasionally and he or she wont maliciously drink behind your back. Many of  my friends that grew up in strict families grew up to have drinking and drug problems.

Answer 9

Drugs now, are no different than the younger people, who are now our parents and grandparents, drinking alcohol in the prohibition days.  People want an escape from the reality of day to day to living.  Unless you have experienced the "experience" of the feeling of what a drug, a certain food or a drink of alcohol can do to/for you, you cannot relate to this entity.  Some may see it as a problem, and it is only a problem, if anything, any habit is taken to extremes.  Eating, drinking, overdoing it in exercising, any activity all people do in life.  Not all teenagers do drugs, drink alcohol, excess living in general, and it is unfair to them to accuse and generalize the whole of being a teenager, that all of them have a problem.  From your spelling, it sounds to me like you are a teenager, probably Aquarius, because Aquarians (generalizing) are so superior and look down on others as you are doing here,) and down the road apiece, you will probably marry the wrong guy, and turn to a bad habit, to escape this bad decision.  In the twenties, and thirties, it was smoking, and it will always be something, because we are all here on this Earth, for the "experience of it all" and that is just what we are all doing: experiencing life.
