People abuse drugs and alcohol because they are attempting to solve a problem. Everyday, every minute we are faced with problems. For the most part we handle them and move on it is what makes life interesting. But for some, they just cannot see around a certain obstacle. And, whether they know it or not, resort to drugs and alcohol as a way to get around life’s barriers. Over time, they begin to amass more problems and more barriers, turning to drugs and alcohol each time. At that point they can no longer see the original problem, only a long list of things to avoid.
Another reason why we abuse drugs is because the teenagers are board so they begin experimenting with drugs and alcohol is that we are simply board and have no deeper interests. We see drugs and alcohol as a pastime to be explored. Try giving your teenager more responsibilities or extra-curricular activities to get involved with so that he or she doesn’t have the time to think about substance use. They might not really be that board, mabey they feel depressed and so they isolate themselves from everything. Most of teenagers might also do it when there friends keep telling them to do it and apparently it’s so cool.
But its not, it brings you down a bad road you start slacking off in your grades,your inrest are going away, nothing good comes out of it. Just because your board, you want people to notice you, or its cool to abuse your body, its not.
