Teenage is more about excitement and experiments. The little anxiety of knowing about new things and experiencing them can be considered as reason for drug abuse in teens. We have people of different age groups in the society, but why are we talking in particular about teens? I have a reason for that. The recent statistics are the main things which made me talk about teenage drug abusers. They show that drug abusing is a major growing problem among the teens.
Drug abuse is dangerous to all the people of any age group but teens are at high risk for its negative effects. They will affect them both physically and mentally. Even the behavior of drug abused teens varies from the normal teens. They do have some emotional problems, which include anxiety, depression, frequent mood swings, suicidal thoughts etc., the higher the drug abuse the greater will be the problems.
There will be a drastic change in their behavior under the influence of drugs. It increases the risk of social problems. They develop a kind of fighting and violent behaviors which results in illegal activities. Risky sex, is also proven to be a common thing in drug abusers. Recent studies have shown that teens who use drugs are five times more likely to have unprotected sex that teens who don't use drugs.
Addiction is also a major problem seen in these drug abusers. They may become complete dependents, which may affect them in their later life. Drug abuse leads to short and long term memory problems since it affects the nerve cells and thus, drug addicts find difficulty in learning and remembering things. The syringes used for injecting drugs may result in the increased risk of blood borne diseases like HIV,AIDS and hepatitis.
Apart from this health issues the other common things that happen under the influence of these club drugs are road accidents. Since, these drugs majorly effects the nervous system and make them numb and unresponsive, the chances are higher for accidental deaths.
The bottom line of all these affects is, a drug may spoil health, or it may spoil the society, or it may cost ones life. Teenagers are like flower buds, who will blossom like lovely flowers, if they are in a right path. Addiction to such kind of illegal things destroys the flower in its budding stage. Keep these things in mind and lead your life in a proper way, which is beneficial to both, to you and the society.
