Being 16, being a teenager, that s when you find out who you are. You re moving out of being a kid, but you re going into what, as a grown-up, you would like to do. That s, that s very stressful, turning into yourself. What isn t stressful, is the question. I think everything is stressful.
Home is stressful.
School is stressful. Meeting new people is stressful. Another study that s been releases recently put the blame of drug increase, the increase in use of drugs by teenagers, on parents because parents, themselves, perhaps experimented with drugs, and, therefore, they as parents are somewhat ambivalent as to what to say to their kids. I think it s drug education. A lot of people are like learning more about drugs, and it used to be that you learned about drugs and you re like whoa, drugs are bad, but now it s like drugs, wow, that seems kind of interesting, maybe I should go try some of this.
