Question + Answer
Drug usage is very common in the present-day population as many adolescents are using
these legal and illegal products, beginning in their childhood years. Some social
academics think that adults are terrible role models because they are heavily influencing
the behaviour of the young people around them. This essay will discuss the principal
reason why this has occurred and analyze the main consequence of this worrying trend.
On the one hand, the primary cause of this issue is the stressful lives many of these young
people are living in today’s society. Some may have terrible home lives, with absent
For many youngsters, they experiment with illegal drugs and alcohol, in order to escape
from their present situations. These kinds of substances are readily available to children
and teens, as they are eager to try drugs, or are pressured into it by their peers or family
members. For example, an article from the New York Times in 2017 reported that in 50
state schools interviewed, over 90% of the students aged between 14-16 had experimented
On the other hand, common substance abuse in adolescents can lead to one main
medication to hard drugs can have both short term and long terms health effects,
including; heart disease, kidney or liver damage, abdominal pain and lead to a weaker
immune system. Certain drugs can also cause brain damage, sometimes causing severe
problems with the use of motor skills or nerves. For instance, a documentary filmed by the
BBC in 2017, showed the effects of serious drug dependencies amongst teenagers aged
between 16-19. One person interviewed had developed serious damage to the brain, as
well as facial nerves, through the overuse of MDMA. This had left the teen with permanent
In addition, teens should be taught about the serious and harmful effects of drug taking in
school. The students should learn about the damaging and lasting effects of taking
recreational drugs, even though they may see them as a way to unwind or escapism. The
health issues relating to drugs and alcohol should be explained with case studies given as
a deterrent to any young people who are thinking about experimenting. For example, as
part of the curriculum in Sixth Form Colleges in the UK, students are made to watch a
series of documentaries about the dangers of drugs and alcohol, in order to learn about
the risks. They listen to teenagers talk about their own bad experiences and the
consequences of this.
In conclusion, many teens are experimenting with common drugs from an early age,
leading to heavy consequences like health issues, as they grow older. To combat this issue,
more initiatives should be set forth through the school system, to create awareness of the
risks involved.
