Many teenagers get involved with drugs because they need a crutch, something to take it all away. However, most are not aware that there are many more ways, and much more healthier ways, that they could vent their anger.
Curiosity. Peer pressure.
Teenagers do drugs out of curiosity and influence from friends. Sometimes it is short lived, in most cases, indeed, but for a few it converts into an addiction.
yes they love taking them. No not all teenagers take drugs. Only those who want to sufffer from serious psychological and physical disorders in later life do. A few get lucky and kill themselves through drug overdoses tho' before that and a smaller percentage survive. Generally a quick trip to a mortuary to see the effects on a corpse of a drug overdose cures most teenagers of a need to use them.
