Early Teen Drug Use Harms Health


drug use has become one big entertainment in this century among the kids. using drugs can cause many problems such as Early pregnancies, as well as a pattern of school failure, substance dependence, sexually-transmitted disease and criminal convictions were common patterns among the early users. the psychological studies are having trouble with answering to the question whether "it’s bad kids who do drugs, or doing drugs that makes kids bad" ?the answer is both.because the bad kids use drugs in their 15 because they may be surrounded by abusive, criminal or substance-abusing household and had behavior problems as children.But the other half were the “good kids” from more stable backgrounds, and they also ended up in poorer health in their 30s.A third of the girls from the “good kids” group were pregnant before age 21 if they had been using drugs and alcohol regularly.That’s the same number of pregnancies as the “bad kids” who didn’t use drugs. Two-thirds of the “bad kids” who used before 15 were pregnant before age 21. By comparison, only 12 percent of “good” girls who were non-users had early pregnancies.i am very much surprised by this event because lot of kids from my age are going crazy with this habit i think the parents are responsible for their children's health and they should prevent them being obsessed with these.

I agree parents are where a lot of the blame should be. It's their job to know where there kids are and what they are doing, and they should put a stop to it.
