Teenage substance abuse is one of the major problems affecting society today. Most teenagers engage in drugs and substance abuse at a young age, thus negatively impacting their lives. Furthermore, most teenagers do not know drug and substance abuse's health and safety risks. Thus, parents and guardians should educate their children on the negative consequences of drugs and substance abuse. Children usually take drugs for multiple reasons, such as peer pressure, curiosity, and the need to fit in a specific social structure.
