Effect of drugs to the youth?

It depends on which specific drugs, as there are hundreds of different one and a dozen of commonly used drugs which fall under one or several of these four major categories: stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens and dissociatives. Because your brain doesn't fully develop untill around 20 years of age and in some cases even older, even drugs that are relatively harmless in adults can have much more severe effects in youths. Although plenty of youths have occasionally used drugs through out their teens without any lasting effects, it's better to be safe than sorry since you can't predict what it will do to any specific teen in the decades to come. Be open and honest about drugs, don't keep them out to be more mysterious than they are as it will only make the though of using them more alluring. Have a talk with them and explain that their brains are still developing and taking any drugs can effect the way how their brains are being formed and that for them to take any drugs (that includes alcohol, which is just as much a hard drug as any other!) would be to take an unknown risk and not worth it.


After knowing the negatives involved with drugs and alcohol why do people still use them?

Answer:Many people imagine that there are advantages to drugs and alcohol that outweigh the disadvantages. And no one thinks it will happen to them. Answer:Although people do often know the negative side effects of drugs, they do often continue to try them. They often try them the first time due to peer pressure, curiosity, or medical reasons. They usually continue to do them because most of them are addictive. Sometimes they continue due to a persistance of medical problems. Other times they continue to take them because they love the good effects, and they think that they outweigh the bad effects, when in most cases they do not.
