Studies show that the teens, who smoke, drink and do drugs; do these because they want to change something about themselves and their lives. The common reasons for indulging in such habits are –

 1. To fit into a gang and to be accepted as one of them.

2. To get rid of boredom.

3. To be daring, without the fear of consequences.

4. Peer pressure i.e. friends force them to try it.

 5. To try it because it sounds exciting.

6. To relax or escape from their daily lives.

People who do this confessed that they thought this would help them find a solution to all their problems. But the truth is that, in the search of a solution somewhere along the way they become so dependent on this that they find it difficult to let go of it and they end up worse than how they started.

Everyone faces challenges in life. Problems are a part of life. Using drugs and other stuff will temporarily give you relief from your thoughts but it will lead to bigger problems which no drug can relieve you from.
