Understanding Teen Drug Use: Origins and Influencing Factors

Teenagers often turn to drugs for various reasons such as peer influence, family habits, and societal glamorization. Many feel pressure to conform, struggle with saying "no," or perceive drug use as a rite of passage to adulthood. Factors like boredom, accessibility, and the desire for thrills can further lure them into experimentation. Some seek ways to escape problems or cope with low self-esteem. Understanding these motivations is key to addressing and preventing substance use among youth.
