Why do teenagers start drugs?

I was about 10 the first time I smoked pot and I was 13 the first time I used meth (crystal, speed ,crank it's all the same). honestly I tried it because it was available and I was curious I kept on using it because it made me feel good. The more I used it the more addicted I got! i quit smoking pot when I was about 14 because I liked the effects of speed much much more!!! I eventually got strung out over time and put my mom through hell!!! I finally got completely clean when my 2nd daughter turned one!!! children need to be discouraged away from drugs because it is a trap...people do drugs as experimentation and continue to use drugs because it makes them feel good!!! That's the trap and I was too young and inexperienced to know the difference or see that I was becoming addicted!!! People need to quit lying to their children....it usually feels nice when you do drugs at first and kids need to know that...they also need to know not to get caught up in that trap!!! I have now been sober for 11 years and I can't imagine my life If I were to get back on drugs now!! It is better for young people to completely stay away from drugs because of their naivety!!!





I hope that may have answered some of your curiosity... if your a teenage and are considering talking drugs I highly HIGHLY recommend that you don't!!! It's not worth everything that you can lose!!Why do teenagers start drugs?
They start doing them because of all the stress from school and parents.Why do teenagers start drugs?
peer pressure..wanting to try new things...not being able to say no..under the influence..the list goes on! oh and depression
peer pressure, to be cool, to escape from reality/become numb,


trying then getting addicted
because the parents are not there to talk to them about drugs. parents now on day they don't even know what is going on with their kids.
It gets them happy,When there parents ***** we do drugs
they feel they can escape their ';problems'; it's a way to rebel, their friends are doing it, and that they can make money!
1. They think it's cool.


2. Peer pressure.


3. They think it will solve their problems.
they feel it is a way to escape depression and it is also caused by peer pressure
because they aint got a brain
To be cool and down with the crowd.
Peer pressure. Lack of attention @ home. Family troubles. Abuse.
Peer pressures


environment


low self esteem


boredom
boredom
the same reason they have sex they are bored
Peer Pressure...
becausee - not all off themm doo anywayss
because sometimes parents worry the hell out of us.and we need something to unwind with or to help us block yall out. and peer pressure too or just to fit in.
because they think they can do what ever they want
many different reasons.


their friends do it and say what it feels like and ask if they want to find out how they would feel...


the one they are dating does it so they want to spend more time with them and that helps them do it


their parents sit them down and tell them if they are going to do it then they are going to do it at home with them...





too many reasons to say, but all you gotta do is say no thanks... friends might make fun of them for a minute, but they don't really mean it and friends bust on each other all the time, they will still be friends. find something else to do with the one you are dating... or somewhere else to go... and parents HAVE TO STOP thinking it's okay as long as they do it at home. They will do it at home, and outside, but they are the ones that showed them it was okay to begin with!








I saw alot of peer pressure in there... that might be true, but a small percent. How many parents talked to their kids about drugs that had peer pressure? Not many.
Usually it's one of two things, they are bored and want something to do, or are having problems and want to feel better. Most of them choose drugs for an easy solution. At least that's why most of my friends tried them.
many reasons. i don't do them and i don't want to. there is no point.
Peer Pressure, they think that if they do it they will be cool, something they do to feel a void if there parents ignore them or abuse them there is alot of reasons all witch I think are STUPID STUPID STUPID
because they want to be long with their friends.
from drinking and parties. there are drugs on almost every street were i live. i live in a trailer park. i know parents that do drugs with their children.
